A heavy, oblique sans with rounded geometry and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast and clean, open counters that keep forms legible at display sizes. Proportions feel compact and slightly condensed in places, with broad, circular rounds (notably in O/0) and sturdy verticals that create a strong, steady texture. The slant and wide italic stance give the rhythm a forward-leaning flow, while terminals are largely blunt and simplified for a crisp, contemporary silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding, and other display contexts where a strong, forward-leaning voice is desirable. It works well for sports and motion-themed graphics, promotional copy, packaging callouts, and punchy UI moments such as badges or hero titles where impact matters more than long-form comfort.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, in-motion feel driven by the pronounced slant and dense weight. It reads as contemporary and confident rather than delicate or formal, lending emphasis and urgency to short messages and headlines. The rounded construction keeps it approachable despite the strong presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded sans structure and an energetic oblique stance. Its simplified, sturdy shapes suggest a focus on clarity at large sizes and a modern, action-oriented personality.
Numerals are robust and highly visible, matching the letterforms’ rounded bowls and simplified joins. The sample text shows a solid, even color in paragraphs, but the heavy weight and oblique angle make it feel most natural when used for emphasis rather than extended reading.
