A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded bowls and smoothly finished terminals. Curves are strongly circular and corners are softened, giving a slightly inflated, contemporary look. Strokes stay largely uniform with minimal modulation, while the slant adds forward momentum and a tighter, more compact rhythm in text. Counters are open enough for clarity at display sizes, and the overall silhouette reads dense and stable rather than delicate.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and hero text where weight and slant can carry the message. It also works well for branding, packaging, and promotional graphics that benefit from a dynamic, athletic voice. For longer passages, it performs more comfortably at larger sizes where counters and spacing stay readable.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, assertive presence that feels modern and approachable. The rounded construction keeps it from feeling harsh, while the oblique angle adds urgency and motion, lending itself to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, rounded sans structure and a built-in sense of motion. Its combination of heavy weight and consistent obliquing suggests a focus on energetic display typography that remains friendly and legible.
In all-caps the forms feel particularly blocky and impactful, and the numerals match the same rounded, weighty construction for cohesive display setting. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a uniform forward-leaning texture.
