A slanted sans with a clean geometric skeleton and softly rounded curves. Strokes are heavy and even, with smooth joins and minimal modulation, giving forms a solid, compact presence. Counters are open and circular-to-oval, and terminals are crisp but not sharp, keeping the overall texture tidy and contemporary. The figures and capitals read clearly at display sizes, with consistent rhythm and spacing that supports tight, punchy setting.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and short promotional copy where its weight and slant can do the work quickly. It also fits sports and lifestyle packaging, social graphics, and display UI moments where an energetic, contemporary voice is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, combining a sporty immediacy with a modern, no-nonsense clarity. It feels confident and promotional, but the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
Likely designed as a bold, oblique display sans that prioritizes impact and fast recognition, pairing geometric clarity with rounded friendliness for modern branding and promotional typography.
The oblique angle is prominent across both uppercase and lowercase, producing strong directional flow in headlines. Round letters (like O/Q and 0) are notably full and stable, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) add extra snap to the texture, reinforcing the active feel.
