A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, compact counters and smoothly curved bowls. Strokes stay consistent with minimal contrast, producing a dense, high-impact texture in both caps and lowercase. The italic angle is steady and gives letters a forward-leaning, streamlined posture, while terminals are clean and softly shaped rather than sharp. Forms lean geometric overall, with broad curves (O, C, G) and sturdy joins that keep the silhouettes solid at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, and short statements where impact and momentum are desired. It also fits sports and lifestyle graphics, packaging callouts, and bold UI moments such as banners or promo tiles, where the dense weight and slant help text stand out quickly.
The overall tone feels energetic and confident, with a sporty, contemporary slant that reads as active and upbeat. Its rounded geometry keeps the mood approachable despite the strong weight, balancing punch with friendliness.
The design appears aimed at delivering strong, forward-leaning display typography with a modern, rounded feel—prioritizing immediate visibility, solid silhouettes, and a dynamic stance for attention-driven settings.
The sample text shows a tight, rhythmic color with strong word shapes and noticeable emphasis from the oblique slant. Numerals match the letterforms’ weight and curvature, maintaining the same bold, rounded presence for headlines and callouts.
