A heavy, oblique sans with rounded construction and softly flattened terminals. Curves are broad and even, with minimal stroke modulation, while joins and corners are subtly softened to keep the texture smooth. The oblique slant is pronounced and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward-leaning rhythm. Proportions are compact in the lowercase with a relatively small x-height and generous counters that prevent the bold forms from clogging; overall spacing reads slightly lively rather than strictly mechanical.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where an energetic, forward-leaning voice is desired. It can work effectively on packaging and labels that benefit from a friendly, rounded impact, and it naturally fits sport- and motion-oriented themes. For longer passages, it is likely best used at larger sizes where the compact lowercase remains comfortable.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a sporty, contemporary feel tempered by rounded friendliness. Its strong lean and chunky curves give it a sense of motion and enthusiasm, suggesting informal confidence rather than formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, slanted sans voice with rounded geometry for warmth and approachability, balancing impact with smooth, contemporary curves. Its proportions and consistent oblique angle prioritize momentum and personality for display-forward typography.
The uppercase set feels stable and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more bounce through varied widths and rounder bowls, which makes mixed-case text feel animated. Numerals match the weight and slant well, supporting a cohesive typographic color in short lines and display settings.
