A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, full bowls and softly finished terminals. The forms feel built from broad, low-contrast strokes with smooth curves and slightly tightened apertures, producing a compact, dense texture in text. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and geometric-leaning, while lowercase letters maintain simple, single-storey constructions (notably a and g) with a consistent forward slant. Numerals are sturdy and legible, matching the overall rounded, weighty construction and maintaining an energetic baseline rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short blocks of copy, and prominent UI or marketing callouts where a strong, energetic presence is desired. It can work for branding and packaging that benefits from a friendly, modern emphasis, and for sports or lifestyle contexts where motion and punch are part of the message. For longer reading, it will be most successful when set larger with additional spacing to keep counters open.
The font reads as energetic and approachable, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests motion and emphasis. Its rounded geometry keeps the tone friendly rather than severe, making it feel contemporary and upbeat. The overall voice is assertive and attention-getting without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with an inherent sense of movement. Rounded construction and uniform stroke behavior suggest a focus on clarity and friendliness while still prioritizing strong display performance and emphatic tone.
In paragraphs and pangrams the strong slant and compact counters create a lively, high-impact color that works best with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing. The bold weight and rounded joins hold up well at display sizes, where the distinctive oblique silhouette is most apparent.
