A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, inflated strokes and smooth, low-modulation curves. Letterforms are broadly geometric with compact apertures and sturdy terminals, producing a dense, high-impact silhouette. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the set maintains a stable rhythm with simple, clean joins and minimal detail.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and promotional graphics. The strong slant and compact counters make it particularly effective for short phrases, logos, and emphasis text rather than extended reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, forward-leaning momentum. Its rounded geometry keeps the weight from feeling harsh, giving it a friendly, approachable confidence suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a smooth, modern feel—combining a strong italic push with rounded, geometric shapes for a sporty, contemporary voice that stays friendly while remaining emphatic.
Capitals read as solid blocks with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z) stay crisp and assertive. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, designed to hold up in display settings and remain visually consistent with the letterforms.
