A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique slant and compact, efficiently shaped counters. Strokes are thick and even, with softened terminals and gently curved joins that keep the forms smooth rather than mechanical. The proportions feel slightly condensed in places, with sturdy verticals and wide, stable curves in letters like C, O, and S; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are broad and muscular. Lowercase forms are simple and utilitarian, with single-storey shapes and small, tight apertures that emphasize density and impact.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, retail signage, and packaging where dense color and motion help grab attention. The oblique stance also works well for sports branding, promotional campaigns, and punchy interface moments (buttons, banners, and hero text) where emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a sporty, forward-leaning momentum. Rounded shaping adds approachability, keeping the voice friendly even at high emphasis. It reads as contemporary and promotional, designed to feel energetic and decisive.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with smooth, rounded geometry and a consistent forward slant. The goal seems to be a modern display sans that stays approachable while projecting speed and strength in branding and advertising contexts.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a strong directional rhythm in text. Numerals are thick and rounded with clear silhouettes; the “1” is plain and upright in structure but slanted with the rest of the set, and the “0” is an oval with a generous interior. In longer lines, spacing appears tight enough to build a solid typographic block, especially in bold headlines.
