A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with broad bowls and open apertures that keep counters clear even at smaller sizes. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward-leaning rhythm and compact word shapes. Terminals are clean and softly finished rather than sharply cut, giving the forms a sturdy, approachable look.
Best suited to headlines, large UI labels, posters, and branding where a bold, kinetic voice is needed. It also works well for packaging and sports or lifestyle applications thanks to its sturdy shapes and consistently slanted emphasis.
The font communicates motion and punch: assertive and athletic, but not harsh. Its rounded geometry and steady slant add a friendly, modern tone that feels designed for attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-energy sans that stays friendly through rounded geometry while projecting confidence through weight and a pronounced oblique stance.
Numerals are wide and highly legible with generous interior space, and rounded letters like O, C, and G emphasize the circular, engineered feel. The overall texture in paragraphs is dark and even, producing a strong typographic color that reads as headline-oriented.
