A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, even stroke endings. Curves are built from broad circular and elliptical shapes, giving letters like C, O, and G a clean, engineered feel, while straight strokes stay firm and simple. Counters are relatively generous for the weight, and terminals are consistently softened rather than sharply cut, helping shapes stay open and legible. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic, with sturdy forms and minimal detail.
Well-suited to headlines, short bursts of copy, and brand marks that need an energetic slant and strong presence. It works especially well for posters, packaging, promotional graphics, and sports or tech-adjacent branding where bold, rounded geometry helps maintain clarity at a distance.
The tone is contemporary and confident, combining a sporty forward motion with a friendly, rounded finish. It reads as energetic and promotional rather than formal, with a straightforward, no-nonsense presence that still feels approachable.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact oblique sans that stays readable while projecting motion and strength. The consistent rounding and geometric curves suggest an intent to balance assertiveness with approachability for display and marketing contexts.
Figures are thick and highly graphic, with strong silhouettes that hold up well at larger sizes. The oblique angle is uniform across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive, slanted texture in paragraphs and headlines alike.
