A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, softly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing solid silhouettes and a compact interior space in many letters. Terminals are clean and blunt rather than tapered, and the overall construction favors smooth, geometric curves paired with straightforward diagonals. The lowercase shows a single-storey "a" and "g" and a clean, utilitarian rhythm, while figures are sturdy and wide, with an oval, well-balanced "0".
Best suited to headlines, advertising, and branding where a strong, dynamic presence is needed. The bold oblique stance also works well for sports-themed design, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and short UI labels that benefit from high visual emphasis.
The overall tone is assertive and forward-leaning, with a sporty, energetic emphasis. Its rounded forms keep the voice approachable and contemporary, while the dense weight reads as confident and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a smooth, friendly geometry and a built-in sense of movement from the oblique angle. It aims for contemporary versatility in display settings, balancing assertiveness with rounded, approachable letterforms.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the dense weight from clogging at display sizes, and the slant is consistent across letters and numerals, giving lines of text a unified, streamlined motion. The shapes prioritize punchy, simplified forms over delicate detail.
