A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, rounded forms and smooth, low-modulation strokes. The construction favors large counters and open apertures, with terminals that feel softly cut rather than sharply tapered. Curves are full and circular, while diagonals are sturdy and stable, creating a compact, high-impact texture in words. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly rounded geometry and consistent weight, keeping a uniform, poster-ready color on the page.
Best suited to high-visibility applications such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, bold brand marks, and punchy packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts where a strong, friendly emphasis is needed, though its weight and slant make it more natural for display than long reading.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, combining a sporty forward-lean with approachable roundness. It reads confident and contemporary, leaning more expressive than neutral while staying clean and straightforward.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a modern, rounded sans voice, pairing a strong weight with an italic slant to convey motion and emphasis. The consistent, smooth curves suggest an intention to stay approachable while remaining highly attention-grabbing.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to add momentum, and the tight, chunky silhouettes help maintain legibility at large sizes. Letter shapes appear designed for strong silhouettes and quick recognition, with a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
