A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, closed counters. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with gently softened terminals that keep the texture cohesive at large sizes. The italic angle is pronounced, giving the letterforms a forward-leaning rhythm; curves (C, O, S) read as near-circular while diagonals (A, K, V, W, Z) are sturdy and simplified. Lowercase forms are compact and bold, with single-storey a and g and a short, square-ish t crossbar that reinforces the blocky, display-focused feel.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of copy where a strong, slanted presence is desirable. It can also work for bold UI moments (banners, hero text, calls-to-action) and packaging or sports-related graphics where clarity and momentum matter.
The overall tone is punchy and confident, with a forward momentum that feels athletic and promotional. Rounded geometry adds approachability, balancing the weight and slant so it reads energetic rather than aggressive.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a clean, rounded sans skeleton and an emphatic italic stance. The simplified, geometric shapes prioritize bold legibility and a cohesive, modern texture in display typography.
Digit shapes are bold and highly legible, with broad curves and minimal detail that holds up well in dense settings. Spacing appears tuned for impact: the heavy strokes and tight internal shapes create a strong, dark typographic color in paragraphs, especially in mixed-case sample text.
