A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded geometry throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with smooth curves and subtly softened terminals that keep the forms friendly despite the weight. Counters stay relatively open for a bold style, and curves dominate the construction of letters like C, G, O, and S, giving the set a cohesive, athletic rhythm. Numerals are similarly robust and slightly condensed in their inner spaces, matching the strong, continuous stroke flow of the letters.
Best suited to display typography where a strong, dynamic voice is needed—headlines, campaign graphics, sports and fitness branding, and promotional posters. It can also work for short subheads and callouts where emphasis and quick scanning matter more than long-form comfort.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and urgency. Its bold presence reads as contemporary and sporty, leaning more toward impact and momentum than quiet neutrality.
Designed to deliver a bold, motion-driven sans that remains clean and approachable through rounded construction and consistent stroke weight. The goal appears to be maximum impact with clear, modern letterforms that hold together well in big, attention-grabbing settings.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping lines of text feel unified and fast-moving. In the sample text, the strong diagonals and generous curves keep word shapes recognizable at display sizes while emphasizing a high-impact, headline-first personality.
