A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique slant and broad, compact letterforms. Strokes are monolinear with smoothly curved joins and softly blunted terminals, giving the outlines a cushioned, simplified feel. Counters are relatively tight, especially in rounded letters, while diagonals in forms like A, K, V, W, X, and Y are clean and sturdy, supporting a strong, even rhythm. The overall color is dense and consistent, optimized for bold display rather than delicate detail.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a bold, energetic voice is needed. It works well for sports and entertainment graphics, punchy packaging, and short callouts where the oblique slant can add momentum. For longer text, it’s most effective in large sizes or with generous tracking to keep counters from feeling crowded.
The font reads as energetic and approachable, combining a sporty urgency with friendly, rounded shapes. Its italic motion adds forward drive, making the tone feel active, confident, and slightly playful rather than formal or editorial.
This design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that feels modern and accessible, pairing rounded geometry with a forward-leaning stance to create immediacy. Its consistent stroke weight and softened terminals suggest an emphasis on bold readability and a friendly, contemporary personality.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent geometric construction, with single-storey lowercase forms and a generally simplified skeleton. Numerals are similarly bold and rounded, designed to hold their shape at a glance. The strong slant and tight internal spaces suggest best performance where clarity comes from size and contrast against the background.
