A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curve construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing solid silhouettes and strong color in text. Round letters like O and C are generously circular, while diagonals in A, V, W, and X feel sturdy and slightly compressed by the slant. Lowercase forms show a tall x-height and simple, contemporary shapes; bowls and counters stay open, and terminals read clean rather than calligraphic.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium display copy where a strong, kinetic voice is needed. It can work well for branding, packaging, and promotional graphics that benefit from a bold, modern sans with an energetic slant.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a confident, punchy presence. Its wide stance and strong weight lend a sporty, promotional feel, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans for display use, combining a pronounced oblique stance with rounded, low-contrast construction to stay clear and friendly while still commanding attention.
The numerals appear robust and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ rounded geometry and strong, uniform stroke weight. At display sizes the italic angle adds motion, and in paragraphs it maintains a dense, attention-grabbing texture.
