A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, geometric construction. Strokes are uniform and smooth, with softened joins and terminals that keep the forms friendly despite the strong weight. Curves are generous and circular (notably in O, C, G, and e), while straight-sided letters like E, F, and T stay compact and sturdy; counters are open enough to hold up in large text. Lowercase forms are wide and sturdy with a prominent x-height, and numerals are similarly broad with simple, stable silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short bursts of copy where impact and momentum are desired. It also fits product packaging, event graphics, and sports- or tech-adjacent identity work where a modern, approachable strength is useful.
The overall tone is energetic and contemporary, with a forward-leaning rhythm that reads as active and sporty. Its combination of rounded geometry and strong weight creates an approachable but confident voice suited to bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, fast-moving sans voice while keeping readability through clean geometry and open counters. It prioritizes strong presence and contemporary versatility for display typography.
Spacing and proportions favor a big, headline-oriented footprint, with consistently rounded shapes and a smooth, even texture across mixed-case and numerals. The slant is steady and coherent across the set, reinforcing motion without becoming cursive.
