A heavy, slanted sans with rounded geometry and compact internal counters. Strokes are broadly even, with smooth curves and softened joins that keep the dense weight from feeling sharp. Letterforms lean forward consistently, and the overall rhythm is wide and steady, with generous, sturdy shapes that stay legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded, athletic construction, with simple, bold silhouettes and minimal detail.
Best suited to attention-grabbing headlines, posters, and short-form copy where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It also works well for branding and packaging that benefits from a friendly athletic tone, and for bold UI or signage moments where quick recognition matters more than delicate typographic nuance.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a forward-leaning momentum that reads as sporty and assertive. Rounded forms add friendliness and a slightly playful, contemporary feel, making it more approachable than a purely industrial italic.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a modern, rounded sans structure and a built-in sense of motion from the consistent slant. The emphasis appears to be on confident display typography that remains approachable and readable in bold applications.
The design favors large, open silhouettes over fine detail, so texture stays dark and uniform in paragraphs. Curved letters (like C/O/S) feel particularly smooth and inflated, while diagonals and terminals are clean and simplified for impact.
