A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and smoothly rounded curves. Strokes stay largely uniform, with softened joins and subtly tapered terminals that keep the dense weight from feeling rigid. Letterforms lean forward with a steady rhythm, combining open, circular shapes (notably in O/C/G) with sturdy verticals and compact counters. The lowercase is robust and simple, with a single-storey a and g, and overall spacing that reads solid and blocky at display sizes.
Best suited to attention-grabbing headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where a strong, forward-leaning voice is desired. It also fits sports and fitness branding, energetic packaging, and bold social media typography, especially in short phrases, logos, and callouts.
The forward slant and thick, rounded construction give the face a fast, assertive tone that feels sporty and upbeat. Its bold presence and soft edges balance strength with approachability, creating an energetic, friendly voice rather than a formal one.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic slant and rounded, sturdy forms, aiming for high visibility and a sense of motion. The consistent stroke weight and broad shapes prioritize immediacy and brand presence over delicate detail.
The numerals and capitals share the same broad, solid construction, producing strong impact in short bursts. In longer lines, the dense weight and compact interior spaces create a dark, uniform texture that works best when given generous size and breathing room.
