A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, geometric construction and broadly uniform stroke thickness. Curves are full and smooth, counters are generous, and terminals are clean and unadorned, giving the letterforms a streamlined, contemporary feel. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the overall rhythm is compact with sturdy joins and a strong, stable baseline presence.
Best suited to attention-grabbing applications such as headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and brand marks where a bold, italic voice is needed. It also works well for packaging and sports or fitness-oriented design, and can serve as a punchy accent type alongside a more neutral text face.
The tone reads energetic and forward-leaning, with a confident, sporty momentum. Rounded geometry softens the weight, keeping it approachable rather than harsh, while the bold silhouette projects urgency and impact.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, modern italic voice with clean geometry and friendly rounding, optimized for impact and motion in display typography.
Uppercase shapes stay simple and architectural, while lowercase forms remain sturdy with open bowls and clear apertures, supporting quick recognition at display sizes. Numerals are similarly rounded and bold, matching the letters closely for cohesive headline setting.
