A heavy, oblique sans with rounded construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms lean consistently with broad proportions and a stable baseline, while terminals are mostly blunt and softly curved rather than sharp. Counters are compact in letters like a, e, and g, giving the face a dense, punchy color; curves (C, O, S) are generous and circular, and diagonals (A, V, W, X) read sturdy and slightly compressed by the slant. Figures are bold and simplified with strong silhouettes suited to large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, punchy subheads, logos, and short statements where its mass and slant can do the work. It also fits sports and lifestyle branding, packaging, and promotional graphics, while longer text blocks benefit from generous leading and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a contemporary, sporty flavor. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable while the heavy weight and forward slant add momentum and emphasis, making it feel confident and headline-ready.
The font appears designed to deliver immediate impact with a modern, rounded sans voice and a built-in sense of motion. It prioritizes bold presence and clear, simplified shapes for display use and branding applications.
The design favors strong silhouettes over fine detail, with consistent stroke endings and minimal modulation. Spacing appears tight-to-normal in text, and the combination of wide shapes with compact internal spaces produces a solid, high-impact texture in paragraphs.
