A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Forms are built from broad curves and sturdy diagonals, creating compact counters and a tight, efficient rhythm in text. Terminals are generally clean and blunt, with circular bowls (notably in O, Q, and numerals) and simplified joins that keep shapes bold and legible at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and branding where a dense, high-impact voice is needed. It works well in sports and lifestyle contexts, punchy packaging, and large-scale promotional typography; for longer text, its dark color and compact counters favor larger sizes and generous line spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, mixing a modern, athletic feel with approachable roundness. Its strong presence reads as promotional and attention-grabbing, while the softened curves prevent it from feeling harsh or technical.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a contemporary, rounded geometry and a consistent slanted stance. The emphasis appears to be on bold clarity and energetic branding rather than delicate detail or extended text comfort.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the wide, dark interior spaces create a high-impact texture in paragraphs. Round letters and numerals feel especially prominent, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) reinforce a dynamic forward motion.
