A heavy, right-leaning sans with rounded terminals and smoothly modeled curves that keep the texture dark and even. The forms are compact with wide strokes and generous counters for the weight, giving letters a solid, slightly condensed feel without becoming rigid. Curves (C, G, S, O) are notably smooth and circular, while joins and intersections are softened to avoid sharp, brittle points. Spacing reads a touch tight at display sizes, producing a cohesive, poster-like rhythm and strong silhouette consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, large-format signage, and bold brand marks. It also fits energetic branding contexts such as sports, lifestyle, and product packaging, where a friendly but forceful tone is useful. For longer passages, it works most comfortably at larger sizes where the heavy texture remains readable and intentional.
The overall tone feels energetic and upbeat, with a sporty, contemporary slant that suggests motion and forward momentum. Its rounded shaping keeps the voice approachable rather than aggressive, while the weight adds confidence and immediacy. The result is a friendly, punchy personality suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Designed to deliver a strong, modern sans voice with an inherent sense of motion. The combination of a pronounced slant and rounded construction suggests an intention to balance urgency and approachability for contemporary advertising and branding needs.
The italic angle is clear and consistent, and the letterforms maintain stability despite the slant, with sturdy diagonals and smooth curves. Numerals and punctuation match the same rounded, heavy construction, helping mixed copy feel unified. The sample text shows strong word shape and emphasis at larger sizes, with the weight dominating the color of a paragraph.
