A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, compact forms and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are broad and continuous, with softened terminals and generous counters that keep the dense weight from clogging. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a strong forward rhythm. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that emphasize bold silhouette over fine detail.
Best suited to display roles where impact and momentum are needed, such as headlines, posters, sports-themed graphics, bold branding, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or calls-to-action when a strong, friendly emphasis is desired, but the density and slant make it less ideal for long text.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, with a playful friendliness created by the rounded shaping and thick, even strokes. Its steady italic angle adds motion and a sporty, action-oriented feel, while the simplified geometry keeps it approachable rather than formal.
Designed to deliver high-impact emphasis with a sense of motion, using a consistent slant and rounded construction to balance strength with approachability. The forms prioritize bold readability and graphic presence in large sizes.
Letterforms favor clear, graphic silhouettes: round characters like O/Q are near-elliptical, and straighter letters retain softened corners rather than sharp cuts. Numerals are similarly robust and highly legible at display sizes, matching the alphabet’s compact, forward-leaning cadence.
