A heavy, oblique sans with rounded geometry and large, open counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a solid, blocky presence. Terminals are predominantly sheared to match the slant, and curves are smooth and circular, especially in O/C/G and the bowls of b/p/d/q. Spacing reads slightly tight in the sample text, reinforcing a compact, forward-leaning rhythm suited to bold setting sizes.
Best suited for attention-grabbing headlines, posters, and short promotional copy where weight and slant can carry the message. It also works well in branding contexts that want a sporty or energetic voice, such as athletics, entertainment, and bold product packaging. For body text, it’s most effective at larger sizes where its dense color and tight rhythm remain comfortable to read.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a sporty, modern feel. Its rounded construction keeps it approachable, while the strong weight and slant add urgency and impact. The result feels promotional and high-energy rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded sans structure and a built-in sense of motion from the slant. It prioritizes strong silhouette, quick recognition, and a modern, friendly attitude for display-led typography.
Numerals are robust and simplified, with a prominently circular 0 and a straightforward, angled 1. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, contributing to a contemporary, informal texture. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, creating a unified, directional flow in longer lines.
