A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded bowls and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Forms lean on simple geometric construction—circular counters, broad curves, and firm straight segments—while terminals are generally blunt and clean. The italic is more of an oblique: consistent slant, steady stroke weight, and sturdy joins that keep letterforms compact and highly legible at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same solid, simplified construction, producing a consistent, contemporary rhythm across lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-to-medium display copy where the weight and slant can do the heavy lifting. It also fits branding and packaging that want a modern, energetic voice, particularly in sporty or tech-adjacent contexts.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, with a sporty, forward-moving slant. Rounded shapes keep it approachable rather than severe, making it feel modern and friendly while still punchy and attention-grabbing.
This design appears intended as a robust italic/oblique sans for impactful display typography—pairing geometric simplicity with rounded friendliness to stay readable while projecting momentum and confidence.
The bold weight and oblique angle create strong word shapes and clear emphasis, especially in headlines. Curves and counters stay open and smooth, helping the font maintain clarity even with tight, dense text blocks.
