A heavy, slanted sans with rounded construction and soft-cornered joins that keep the dense weight feeling approachable. Curves are smooth and full, with counters that stay fairly open for the thickness, while terminals tend to look blunt and slightly sheared, reinforcing the forward-leaning motion. Proportions are broadly even and sturdy, with a compact rhythm in the lowercase and a consistently strong presence in the capitals. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly rounded bowls and solid, simplified silhouettes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short, high-impact copy where boldness and motion are assets. The rounded, sturdy shapes can work nicely for branding and packaging that needs a modern, friendly toughness, and it naturally fits sporty or youth-oriented designs.
The overall tone is upbeat and assertive, combining a forward-moving, action-oriented slant with friendly rounded forms. It reads as contemporary and approachable rather than formal, with a punchy voice that suits energetic messaging.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic slant while preserving warmth through rounded geometry. The consistent, low-detail shapes suggest an emphasis on confident display typography that remains approachable and easy to read at larger sizes.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create momentum, and the bold massing produces strong word shapes at display sizes. Round letters (like O/o) feel especially full and stable, while diagonal-heavy forms (like K, V, W, X) emphasize speed and impact.
