A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and smooth, rounded geometry. Strokes are thick and even with minimal contrast, producing solid, dark word shapes. Curves are broadly circular (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, keeping the design crisp. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, giving the face a dense, punchy texture that still holds together clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short bursts of text, and prominent UI or on-screen labels where a strong, dynamic voice is needed. It performs well for sports and lifestyle branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and any setting that benefits from bold, slanted emphasis and clean sans construction.
The slanted stance and bold massing create an energetic, forward-moving tone that feels sporty and contemporary. Its rounded construction softens the weight, adding a friendly, approachable character rather than an aggressive one.
Likely designed to deliver a decisive, modern italic voice for branding and display typography—combining geometric roundness with substantial weight to maximize impact while preserving a friendly, contemporary feel.
The oblique angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping lines of text maintain a steady rightward momentum. Numerals are robust and highly graphic, matching the letterforms’ compact, high-impact rhythm.
