A slanted, heavy sans with rounded bowl construction and broadly uniform stroke weight. Forms are compact with smooth curves, short joins, and minimal modulation, giving letters a sturdy, simplified silhouette. Counters are moderately open for the weight, terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm is tight with a forward-leaning, compressed feel that reads clearly in headline sizes.
Best suited to short-form display use where impact matters—headlines, poster typography, branding lockups, packaging callouts, and sports or event graphics. The strong, slanted forms help create motion and emphasis in marketing copy and title treatments, while remaining clean enough for subheads and prominent UI labels at larger sizes.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, with a sporty, promotional edge created by the strong weight and consistent italic angle. It feels contemporary and functional rather than delicate, conveying speed, emphasis, and a confident, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, emphatic sans voice: rounded and approachable in construction, but weighty and forward-leaning to signal motion and urgency. It prioritizes bold presence and visual consistency across letters and numerals for punchy, modern display typography.
Uppercase shapes stay geometric and steady, while the lowercase introduces more distinctive, slightly more calligraphic motion (notably in letters with stems and descenders), adding character without breaking the overall uniformity. Numerals appear sturdy and simple, matching the letterforms’ compact, high-impact stance.
