A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, open forms and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are largely uniform with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and slightly softened, giving counters a generous, legible feel. Proportions are broadly compact with sturdy verticals and lively diagonals; curves stay circular and stable, while joins and shoulders remain smooth rather than sharply engineered. Spacing appears even and readable in text, with a forward-leaning rhythm that keeps lines moving.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium text where impact and motion are desired—brand marks, campaign graphics, posters, packaging callouts, and sports or fitness-oriented design. The strong weight and oblique stance help it stand out on screen and in print, especially in bold statements and emphasis.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a sporty forward slant with approachable roundness. It reads contemporary and pragmatic rather than formal, projecting clarity and momentum without feeling harsh. The result is a friendly, high-impact voice suited to energetic messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, energetic sans voice with a built-in sense of forward movement. The rounded construction and uniform stroke language suggest an emphasis on broad usability and clear, confident presence in display typography.
Uppercase shapes maintain broad, simplified geometry, while lowercase forms keep open apertures and clear bowls that hold up well at display sizes. Numerals are sturdy and straightforward, matching the same rounded, low-contrast construction for consistent color across mixed text.
