A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, softened corners and broadly uniform stroke weight. Curves are full and elliptical, with wide bowls and compact apertures that keep counters relatively tight at display sizes. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the overall rhythm is dense and forward-leaning. Letterforms favor simple geometric construction, with sturdy diagonals and clean terminals that read as clipped rather than calligraphic.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, logos, product marks, and promotional graphics where the slanted stance can signal motion. It also fits sports, streetwear, and energetic brand systems, and can work on packaging or signage when used at larger sizes.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a fast, sporty feel created by the pronounced slant and thick, rounded forms. It projects confidence and immediacy, lending itself to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet, bookish settings.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, fast-moving sans voice that stays friendly through rounded geometry while remaining highly assertive in mass and presence. The consistent oblique construction suggests an emphasis on momentum and contemporary display use.
The numerals appear large and weighty, matching the letterforms closely for a unified typographic color. Spacing in the samples reads intentionally tight and compact, contributing to a solid block of text and a strong headline presence.
