A slanted, heavy sans with smooth, rounded joins and a compact footprint. Strokes are consistently thick with gentle modulation from curvature rather than contrast, giving letters a solid, carved-from-rubber feel. Round characters (C, O, G) are broadly elliptical with open apertures, while diagonals (A, V, W, Y) are wide and stable, producing a strong forward rhythm. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with single‑storey a and g, and the numerals are clear, with a plain, open 4 and rounded 0/8/9 shapes.
Best suited to branding, headlines, posters, and packaging where strong presence and fast readability are needed. It also fits sports and lifestyle design systems, promotional graphics, and bold interface accents when used at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, contemporary voice. The slant and softened geometry keep it from feeling severe, adding a friendly, approachable quality suited to upbeat messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern sans voice with forward motion and friendly rounded geometry, prioritizing impact and clarity over delicate detail. Its simplified, sturdy letterforms suggest a focus on confident display typography for contemporary communication.
Spacing appears designed for display and short lines: the heavy strokes and compact proportions create dense, high-impact word shapes. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps maintain momentum in running text at larger sizes.
