A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, circular construction and smoothly joined curves. Strokes feel consistent and sturdy, with broad terminals that stay clean rather than flared. The capitals are compact and upright in structure despite the slant, while the lowercase shows a lively rhythm with rounded bowls and a single-storey “a.” Counters are moderately open, and the numerals follow the same geometric, chunky logic for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display where the strong slant and heavy shapes can deliver impact quickly. It works well for branding, packaging, posters, and signage that benefit from a modern, dynamic voice, and it can also serve as an attention-grabbing accent in editorial layouts.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, combining a sporty urgency with a friendly, approachable warmth. Its rounded geometry keeps it from feeling severe, while the strong mass and slant add confidence and motion.
Likely designed to provide a bold, motion-infused sans option that stays legible through rounded geometry and simple construction. The emphasis appears to be on punchy presence and a contemporary, sporty character rather than quiet text neutrality.
The pronounced oblique angle creates a clear directional emphasis that reads like purposeful “lean” rather than casual handwriting. Spacing appears tuned for dense, impactful setting, and the round forms remain consistent across letters and figures, supporting a uniform, graphic color.
