Keywords: headlines, posters, branding, packaging, sportswear, sporty, punchy, confident, playful, advertising, impact, momentum, attention, headline, rounded, bulky, forward-leaning, compact, blunt terminals.
A heavy, forward-leaning sans with broad proportions and a compact, muscular build. Strokes are thick with gentle, rounded joins and largely blunt terminals, producing solid, high-impact silhouettes. Curves are smooth and circular, counters are relatively open for the weight, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) feel sturdy rather than sharp. The rhythm reads energetic and slightly compressed by the slant, with a consistent, display-oriented texture across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and campaign graphics where impact and motion are desired. It can also work for sports and entertainment titling, but its dense weight and slant make it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, attention-grabbing presence. Its rounded massing keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, giving it a bold, playful confidence suited to promotional messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a fast, forward motion, combining rounded forms with a heavyweight build for emphatic display typography. The aim appears to be strong shelf/scroll-stopping presence while maintaining approachable, contemporary shapes.
Round letters like O/C/G show generous curvature and thickened shoulders, while the numerals are similarly chunky and legible at large sizes. The italic angle creates momentum and a dynamic baseline flow, especially evident in the sample pangrams.
