A heavy, right-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with a noticeable oblique slant and gently sheared terminals that keep the rhythm fast and forward-moving. Counters are compact but open enough for signage-like clarity, and curves tend toward superellipse geometry rather than perfect circles, giving bowls and rounds a squared-off, robust feel. Uppercase forms are sturdy and blocky; lowercase is simple and single-storey where expected (notably the a and g), with tall, narrow ascenders and clear, uncluttered joins.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and identity work where a bold, kinetic tone is desirable. It should perform well on posters, packaging, sports and lifestyle branding, and prominent UI moments such as hero banners or callouts, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and assertive, combining a sporty forward-lean with approachable, rounded shapes. It reads as modern and energetic, with a slightly retro display flavor that feels at home in branding that wants impact without sharpness.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, high-impact sans that feels fast and contemporary while remaining friendly through rounded, superellipse-based forms. The pronounced slant and compact counters suggest an emphasis on momentum and logo-like presence in display typography.
The slant is strong enough to function as a primary voice rather than a subtle companion style, and the softened corners help maintain a smooth texture in dense settings. Numerals follow the same rounded, compact logic, staying visually consistent with the uppercase weight and curvature.
