A heavy, oblique sans with rounded geometry and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms are built from broad curves and sturdy straight segments with softened corners, giving counters a more oval than circular feel. The slant is consistent and fairly strong, and the weight produces compact internal spaces that stay readable at display sizes. Curves and terminals are clean and unadorned, with a lively rhythm created by the italic angle and robust proportions across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, short calls to action, and large-scale typography where its weight and slant can project momentum. It works well for branding and packaging that need a confident, contemporary voice, and it naturally fits sports, fitness, and event graphics. For longer text blocks, it performs better in larger sizes with comfortable line spacing to avoid a dense color.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, forward-leaning feel. Its rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, making it feel modern and confident for attention-grabbing messaging.
Designed to deliver a strong, modern sans presence with an italic-driven sense of motion, while keeping forms rounded and accessible. The emphasis appears to be on high-impact display use with clear, simple shapes that hold up in bold settings.
The numerals are thick and rounded with clear silhouettes, and the lowercase maintains a solid, even texture in running text. The combination of strong slant and heavy weight creates a distinct, poster-ready voice that benefits from generous tracking when set in longer lines.
