A heavy, obliqued sans with broad proportions and rounded geometry. Strokes are uniform and low-contrast, with softly curved joins and terminals that read as slightly sheared rather than sharply cut. The curves (C, O, S, 8) are full and smooth, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and wide, producing an even, blocky texture. Lowercase forms are compact and clean with open apertures, and the numerals match the overall width and weight for consistent color in mixed text.
Works best for attention-grabbing headlines, short paragraphs in marketing copy, and prominent UI or in-app banners where bold, slanted emphasis is desired. It’s well suited to branding and packaging that need a modern, friendly impact, and it can perform effectively in sports or entertainment materials where motion and volume help drive hierarchy.
The overall tone is confident and upbeat, with a friendly, contemporary feel. The italic slant and generous width give it motion and punch, while the rounded shapes keep it approachable rather than aggressive. It suggests sporty branding, casual headlines, and energetic editorial styling.
Designed to deliver a strong, modern sans voice with an inherent forward-leaning emphasis. The wide set and rounded construction prioritize visual impact and approachability, aiming for clear, confident display typography that remains cohesive across letters and figures.
Spacing appears generous, helping the dense weight stay readable at display sizes. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive rhythm in longer lines. Round letters remain stable without looking overly geometric, balancing softness with strong presence.
