A heavy, slanted sans with smooth, rounded curves and sturdy, compact letterforms. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and the shapes lean on circular bowls and clean, open counters for a strongly geometric feel. Terminals are generally blunt and well-contained, with crisp joins and a tight, assertive silhouette that reads clearly at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same dense, forward-leaning rhythm, creating a consistent, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short display copy where impact and momentum are desired. It can work well in sports or fitness branding, promotional graphics, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes or in shorter blocks where its dense weight supports emphasis rather than sustained reading.
The overall tone is bold and forward-moving, with a sporty, promotional energy. Its slant and thick forms feel confident and urgent, suggesting motion and emphasis rather than neutrality. The rounded geometry keeps it approachable while still projecting strength.
Designed to deliver a strong, dynamic voice with an italicized, forward-leaning stance and solid geometric construction. The intention appears to be high visibility and energetic presence, balancing rounded forms with compact, powerful proportions for contemporary display use.
The uppercase set appears especially compact and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains a similarly robust build with simple, modern construction. Curves (like O/C/G and the bowls in b/p/q) stay smooth and well-rounded, helping maintain clarity despite the heavy weight and slant.
