A heavy, oblique sans with round, open counters and smoothly curved joins. The letterforms lean consistently forward, with broadly even stroke weight and gently softened terminals that keep the shapes from feeling sharp. Uppercase proportions read compact and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, modern rhythm with familiar single-storey forms and clear bowls. Figures are bold and geometric, matching the letters in weight and curvature for a cohesive, high-contrast-on-page texture.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where weight and slant can do the work—posters, social graphics, product packaging, and bold brand statements. The strong, rounded forms can also fit sports and fitness identities, event promotions, and attention-grabbing signage.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its rounded geometry adds approachability, balancing the strong weight with a friendly, contemporary feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a modern, forward-moving stance, combining bold massing with rounded geometry for a balance of strength and approachability. It prioritizes immediacy and visual momentum over delicate detailing.
Spacing appears set for display impact rather than delicate text color, producing a dense, punchy line in the sample paragraph. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S emphasize the typeface’s circular construction, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y reinforce the dynamic slant.
