A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smoothly rounded curves. Stroke endings are clean and largely unbracketed, with subtle tapering on diagonals that adds motion without turning into calligraphic contrast. Counters are open and generous for the weight, and the overall rhythm is steady, with sturdy, blocky lowercase forms and simple, legible numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand statements where large sizes benefit from its mass and forward momentum. It can also work well for sports and lifestyle branding, packaging callouts, and short UI labels that need attention-grabbing emphasis, while longer text will typically prefer larger sizes and more leading due to the weight.
The tone is energetic and forward-leaning, combining a strong, poster-like presence with a friendly roundness. It reads as modern and confident, suited to messaging that wants impact without feeling sharp or severe.
Likely intended as an impact-oriented, modern oblique sans that pairs strong headline presence with rounded, approachable forms. The design emphasizes momentum and clarity for display typography and prominent marketing copy.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a continuous sense of movement. Round characters like C, G, O, and S appear full and smooth, while diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Z feel sporty and decisive. The lining figures are bold and highly prominent, with clear differentiation between shapes such as 6/9 and 0/8 at display sizes.
