A heavy, oblique sans with rounded construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are broad and continuous, while joins are clean and slightly softened, giving the letters a sturdy, contemporary feel. Counters are moderately open and the rhythm is compact but even, with consistent stroke mass across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and rounding, reading clearly with simple, solid shapes.
Best suited to headlines and short-form copy where weight and slant can do the work of emphasis. It performs well in branding and packaging that need an energetic, contemporary voice, and it naturally fits sporty or action-oriented graphics where a strong, compact texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a forward-leaning stance that feels active and confident. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the strong weight makes it feel direct and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed as a high-impact oblique sans for display use, combining rounded geometry with substantial stroke weight to maximize presence while keeping forms friendly and legible.
The oblique angle is consistent across the set, and round letters (like O/C/G) show smooth circularity with controlled apertures. Diagonal-heavy forms (K, V, W, X, Y) appear sturdy and balanced, reinforcing a strong, athletic texture in text.
