This is a slanted sans with sturdy, even strokes and softly rounded terminals. Uppercase forms lean toward simple geometric construction (round O/Q/C and broad bowls in B/P/R), while lowercase characters are compact with smooth joins and minimal detailing. Counters are generally open and circular, the curves are clean and consistent, and diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, and X create a strong forward rhythm. Numerals are heavy and legible with rounded shapes and straightforward angles, suited to display sizing.
It performs best in short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, campaign graphics, brand marks, and packaging where its compact, forward motion adds emphasis. It can also work for punchy UI labels or section headers when a bold, friendly tone is desired.
The overall tone feels energetic and contemporary, with a confident, forward-leaning stance. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the dense color and steady rhythm give it an assertive, sporty presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans for attention-driven typography, combining geometric roundness with an energetic slant for momentum and clarity.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive flow in longer lines of text. Round letters (o, e, c, G) read particularly smooth, and the shapes maintain clarity even with tight internal spaces typical of a heavier style.
