A very heavy oblique sans with rounded, oval-driven forms and a smooth, low-contrast stroke. Curves are full and continuous, terminals appear clean and blunt, and counters stay open enough to remain readable at display sizes. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving lines a cohesive, accelerated rhythm.
Well suited to branding elements that need immediate punch—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and sports or lifestyle graphics. It can also work for UI highlights, badges, and signage where quick recognition matters, especially at medium-to-large sizes where its rounded counters and sturdy shapes read best.
This typeface projects a confident, energetic tone with a sporty, forward-leaning momentum. Its heavy, compact color and rounded construction feel friendly rather than severe, making it read as upbeat, modern, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver strong visual impact while staying approachable, using rounded geometry and a consistent oblique angle to create motion and emphasis. It prioritizes a dense, high-ink presence and straightforward shapes that hold together well in short, prominent text.
Capitals are broad and stable while the lowercase maintains a compact, sturdy feel, giving mixed-case settings a strong, continuous texture. Numerals match the same oblique, rounded construction, supporting consistent visual tone in data-heavy headlines or price-led layouts.
