A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, swollen curves and compact internal counters. Strokes are uniform and dense, with smooth joins and softened corners that keep the weight from feeling harsh. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the overall rhythm alternates between broad rounded forms (O, Q, 0, 8) and tightly packed, wedge-like diagonals (K, V, W, X). Terminals are generally blunt and slightly curved, creating a cohesive, streamlined silhouette with strong black presence.
Best suited for display applications where weight and slant can create instant emphasis—headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and bold UI/hero text. It can work well for sporty branding, energetic product packaging, and logo wordmarks where a compact, rounded oblique look helps carry impact in short bursts.
The tone is fast, confident, and high-impact, with a distinctly sporty, headline-driven feel. Its rounded massing and steady slant add friendliness while still projecting urgency and momentum, making it read as contemporary and attention-grabbing rather than formal.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, modern oblique sans that stays friendly through rounded geometry while maximizing visual punch. The consistent slant and simplified constructions suggest an emphasis on speed, readability at large sizes, and a cohesive, brand-ready texture.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with generous curvature on C/G and a robust bowl structure on B/P/R. Lowercase follows a single-storey approach for key letters like a and g, reinforcing an informal, modern voice. Numerals are bold and highly legible at display sizes, with the 1 and 7 leaning into angular, sign-like shapes.
