A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded, softly chamfered corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, giving letters a dense, blocky presence while maintaining smooth curves in bowls and counters. Terminals tend to be subtly sheared to match the slant, and the overall rhythm is lively and slightly bouncy, with open apertures and simple, geometric construction.
Best used for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, badges, and logotypes where the strong weight and oblique stance can carry the layout. It also fits packaging and apparel/athletic branding where a friendly, assertive tone is desired, and works well for large numerals in labels or promo graphics.
The font reads energetic and upbeat, with a confident forward motion from the slant and a friendly tone from the rounded shaping. Its bold mass and simplified forms feel sporty and promotional, suited to attention-grabbing messaging without turning harsh or technical.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visibility and momentum in display settings, pairing a bold silhouette with softened geometry to stay approachable. The oblique angle and compact, rounded construction suggest an emphasis on contemporary, energetic messaging and brand-forward typography.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable with sturdy diagonals, while lowercase retains a compact look that emphasizes the round counters of a, e, o, and p. Numerals are robust and clear at display sizes, matching the same sheared, rounded detailing for a cohesive texture in mixed text.
