A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, smoothly modeled curves. Stroke endings are clean and mostly squared-off but softened by generous rounding, giving the letters a sturdy, molded look rather than a crisp geometric one. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tightened, which boosts density at large sizes. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” and a simple, functional “r,” while numerals are bold and simplified with robust curves and strong diagonals.
Best suited for attention-first typography such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold brand marks. It also works well for sporty or youthful packaging and for short, high-contrast signage where the strong silhouettes can carry from a distance.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded forms. Its slanted stance and thick silhouettes create a sense of motion and impact, reading as contemporary and sporty rather than formal or editorial.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning, energetic texture while keeping the feel approachable through rounded construction. The simplified, compact interior shapes suggest an emphasis on bold display performance and clear, unified rhythm in short text.
Spacing appears intentionally open enough to keep the heavy shapes from clogging, but the compressed internal spaces mean it benefits from generous size and breathing room. The oblique angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive forward-leaning rhythm.
