A heavy, oblique sans with rounded terminals and softly squared curves that keep the letterforms smooth and continuous. Strokes are sturdy and even, with minimal modulation, and counters are relatively open for the weight. The uppercase reads compact and slightly wide-shouldered, while the lowercase keeps simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) with a clean, contemporary rhythm. Numerals are equally robust and rounded, matching the overall curvature and forward-leaning momentum.
Best suited for display uses where a strong, energetic voice is needed, such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and sports or lifestyle graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts where bold emphasis and quick recognition are priorities.
The forward slant and softened geometry create a sense of speed and approachability—confident but not aggressive. Its rounded corners and steady color give it a friendly, contemporary tone that feels at home in energetic, everyday branding.
Designed to deliver a bold, contemporary sans look with built-in motion from the oblique stance, while keeping forms friendly through rounded corners and open counters. The overall construction prioritizes impact and clarity in short-to-medium lengths over delicate detail.
Diagonal joins in letters like K, V, W, and X are thick and stable, reinforcing a solid, athletic texture. The oblique angle is consistent across cases, and the punctuation in the sample text maintains the same bold, rounded presence for a cohesive typographic color.
