A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded construction and broad internal counters. Curves are drawn with a geometric, near-circular logic, while terminals are clean and mostly sheared in the direction of the slant, giving the outlines a streamlined, forward-leaning profile. Proportions read expansive and stable, with generous bowl widths (notably in rounded letters and numerals) and compact joins that keep the rhythm tight at display sizes. The overall texture is even and solid, with minimal modulation and consistent stroke behavior across curves and straight segments.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and branding where a sense of speed and confidence is desirable. It also works well for sports or tech-adjacent identities, packaging callouts, and prominent UI labels where strong emphasis and quick recognition matter.
The face communicates motion and urgency without feeling aggressive, combining athletic energy with a friendly, approachable softness from its rounded forms. Its slant and dense weight create a sense of speed and emphasis, making it feel contemporary and performance-oriented.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, forward-leaning sans voice that stays clean and contemporary while retaining a friendly, rounded finish. The emphasis appears to be on impactful display performance, strong silhouette recognition, and an energetic typographic color in large sizes.
The figures are bold and highly legible, with rounded shapes in 0/8/9 and a strongly slanted 1 that reinforces the italic cadence. Uppercase forms appear sturdy and simplified, while lowercase maintains a clean, contemporary look with single-storey-style roundness where applicable and open apertures that help preserve clarity in short text bursts.
