A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with minimal modulation, and corners are softened rather than sharply cut, giving forms a clean, modern silhouette. Counters are generally open and rounded; the lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” a compact, ball-like “i” dot, and a right-leaning rhythm that reads as fast and dynamic. Numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded logic, with broad proportions and simplified shapes suited to display sizing.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, and short promotional copy where strong presence and motion are desirable. It also fits posters, packaging, and sports or lifestyle graphics, and can work for UI or social graphics when set at larger sizes for clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, with a forward-leaning motion that suggests speed and momentum. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice approachable rather than aggressive, making it feel modern, sporty, and confident.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, contemporary sans that combines geometric roundness with a consistent slant to convey speed and modernity. It aims for bold readability and a friendly, athletic character in display-forward applications.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the letterforms prioritize solid silhouettes over fine detail. Spacing appears generous enough for headings, and the broad shapes emphasize impact in short strings and large text settings.
