A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded terminals and smoothly curved joins that keep the texture soft despite the dense weight. Forms are built from broad ovals and sturdy stems, with counters kept relatively open for clarity at display sizes. The letters show a subtle forward-leaning, athletic rhythm, and several diagonals and curves are slightly sheared to reinforce motion. Numerals match the robust, rounded construction and read as solid, simple shapes with generous interior space.
Best suited to large-scale typography where weight and slant can carry emphasis—headlines, posters, event graphics, sports or active-lifestyle branding, and promotional layouts. The rounded construction also works well for packaging or social graphics that need impact without feeling harsh.
The overall tone is upbeat and assertive, combining a friendly softness with a high-impact, action-oriented slant. It feels contemporary and approachable rather than technical, with a headline-driven confidence that suggests speed and momentum.
Designed to deliver strong display presence with a dynamic, forward-leaning stance while keeping shapes friendly through rounded terminals and open counters. The intent appears to balance punchy emphasis with approachable, modern clarity for bold messaging.
The stroke endings are consistently softened, avoiding sharp cutoffs, which helps maintain legibility in tightly set, bold text. Spacing in the samples appears geared toward compact, attention-grabbing lines, and the slant creates a continuous forward flow across words.
