A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, sculpted forms and soft corner transitions. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, giving the letters a solid, blocky presence while curves remain smooth and inflated. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and spacing feels moderately tight, emphasizing dense word shapes. Lowercase shows single-storey constructions where applicable and simplified, geometric counters; numerals are wide and weighty with clear, open bowls.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where impact and motion are priorities, such as headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, and promotional graphics. It also works well for packaging and short, emphatic messaging in social and digital ads. For longer text, it’s most effective as a strong accent style paired with a quieter companion face.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a distinctly sporty, poster-forward attitude. Rounded shapes and a steady slant keep it approachable rather than severe, making it feel contemporary and energetic. The exaggerated weight and compact rhythm add a sense of urgency and impact.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, modern oblique sans that combines sturdy geometry with friendly rounding. Its consistent slant and heavy weight suggest a focus on momentum and visibility, optimized for attention-grabbing titles and branding applications.
Caps are tall and broad with generous curvature in C, G, O, and S, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep strong verticals and blunt terminals. The figures are highly attention-grabbing at display sizes, and the italic angle adds motion that reads well in short bursts. At smaller sizes, the dense weight and tight interior counters may require extra tracking to maintain clarity.
