A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and strongly rounded curves. Strokes are thick and even, with smooth joins and broadly cut terminals that keep counters open despite the weight. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a forward-leaning rhythm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase mixes round bowls with simple, single-story constructions; descenders are short-to-moderate and the dot of i/j is round and prominent. Numerals are similarly robust, with rounded shapes and clear interior space for readability at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where the slant and mass can deliver momentum and emphasis. It also fits energetic product packaging and sports or fitness-oriented graphics, and can work for short UI or signage labels when set with generous space.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, with a forward-leaning posture that reads as active and confident. Its rounded geometry adds a friendly, approachable edge, balancing the strong weight with a contemporary, sporty feel.
The design appears intended to provide a high-impact italic sans for display typography—prioritizing strong silhouette, quick recognition, and a lively forward motion while retaining rounded, approachable shapes.
Spacing appears tuned for impact rather than economy: the letters sit with steady sidebearings and a cohesive texture in words, especially in headline settings. Round letters (like O/C/G/e) carry much of the personality, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) add punch and motion.
