A heavy, oblique sans with rounded construction and compact internal spaces. Curves are broad and smooth, terminals are clean and softly finished, and joins stay sturdy, creating a dense, energetic texture. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with open circular forms (notably in o/0) and a generally uniform stroke that keeps counters tight at display sizes. Overall proportions lean slightly condensed in feel, with sturdy stems and simple, geometric bowls and shoulders.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where strong impact and a sense of motion are desired. It also fits branding, sports and active-lifestyle graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional materials that benefit from a bold, rounded italic voice.
The font reads bold and forward-leaning, giving it a fast, assertive voice that still feels approachable thanks to its rounded shapes. It suggests motion and emphasis, making text look active and headline-ready rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a streamlined, contemporary look, combining a consistent oblique rhythm with rounded geometry for an energetic but friendly presence.
Capitals are simple and blocklike with minimal stylistic quirks, while lowercase maintains clear, rounded silhouettes that keep word shapes familiar. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and slant, supporting cohesive headline and branding systems.
