A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded geometry. Strokes are uniform and low in contrast, with softly finished terminals that keep the forms smooth rather than sharp. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with slightly condensed joins and sturdy, compact shapes that hold together well at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals read as robust and straightforward, while lowercase forms keep a simple, contemporary construction.
Best suited to headlines, short copy, and display applications where impact and motion are desirable—such as posters, brand marks, sports or fitness graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional materials. In longer passages it will feel dense due to the weight, but it can work well for brief, high-emphasis statements and UI banners.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a sporty forward motion with approachable, rounded letterforms. It feels contemporary and promotional, projecting confidence without becoming aggressive thanks to its softened corners and friendly curves.
This design appears intended as a high-impact italic sans that balances bold presence with rounded, accessible forms. The combination of sturdy shapes and smooth terminals suggests a focus on energetic branding and attention-grabbing display typography.
The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, giving lines of text a strong sense of movement. The wide footprint and thick strokes create strong word shapes and clear emphasis, especially in short phrases and headline settings.
