A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a dense, even color on the line. Letterforms are built from rounded, geometric curves with softened corners and minimal stroke modulation, giving the shapes a smooth, uniform feel. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with sturdy terminals and tight interior counters that emphasize impact at display sizes. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with simple, single-storey constructions and robust bowls, supporting strong rhythm in short text.
Best suited to headlines and short, emphatic copy where its dense weight and oblique stance can carry the message. It fits well in branding, packaging, and promotional graphics—especially in sporty or high-energy contexts—and can work as a bold accent in editorial layouts when used at generous sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a sporty, forward-leaning posture that feels contemporary and assertive. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, making it feel friendly while still clearly built for attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a contemporary, geometric sans voice, combining a strong italicized push with rounded construction for approachable display typography. Its proportions and simplified shapes suggest a focus on punchy readability and visual momentum in marketing and headline settings.
In the sample text the weight and oblique angle create strong horizontal motion; spacing appears tuned for display, with compact counters and thick joins that can visually close up at smaller sizes. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and slant, contributing to a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
