A heavy, oblique sans with rounded geometry and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are broad and even, with circular counters in O/C/G and softened joins throughout, while terminals read clean and mostly straight rather than tapered. The slant is consistent across caps and lowercase, creating forward motion; proportions feel compact with generous internal space in larger round letters and tighter apertures in forms like S and e. Numerals match the same sturdy, simplified construction for a cohesive, display-leaning rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and emphasis where an energetic oblique voice is desired. It works well for branding systems, sports and active-lifestyle messaging, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where high impact and quick readability are priorities.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, contemporary voice. Its strong presence and steady slant suggest momentum and confidence, making it feel energetic without becoming flashy or decorative.
Designed to deliver a modern, forward-leaning sans aesthetic with strong impact and clean geometry. The consistent oblique angle and rounded construction suggest an intention to balance speed and friendliness while remaining sturdy and highly legible at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains a clear, straightforward structure with single-storey-style simplicity where visible (e.g., the rounded, open construction in a/e). The italic angle and dense weight create strong word shapes and a noticeable texture, especially in longer lines of text.
