A heavy oblique sans with rounded, softened joins and largely uniform stroke weight. Forms are built from broad curves and straight, slightly angled terminals, producing a steady, forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are relatively compact and apertures are moderately open, balancing density with legibility. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with sturdy stems and short ascenders/descenders, and the overall texture is dark and continuous, especially in bold text settings.
Best suited to display typography where impact and momentum are desirable, such as headlines, posters, sports and lifestyle branding, and bold packaging. It can also work for short interface labels or calls to action where a strong, slanted emphasis improves scanability, but the dense texture favors larger sizes over long passages.
The slanted stance and dense color convey speed and confidence, giving the face an energetic, contemporary tone. Rounded shaping keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, making it feel sporty and upbeat while still reading as strong and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, forward-leaning voice with clean geometric construction and softened edges, combining punchy presence with a friendly, contemporary finish.
Caps are wide and stable, with simple geometric construction that stays consistent across the set. Numerals are similarly robust and blocky, designed to hold up at display sizes without delicate details.
