A heavy, slanted sans with rounded geometry and clean, continuous curves. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with smooth terminals and broadly oval counters that keep forms open despite the weight. The italics are built into the lettershapes rather than just a shear, producing a lively forward rhythm; diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) feel especially dynamic. Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, a compact shoulder on r, and a short, assertive t crossbar.
Best suited for headlines, short copy, and display settings where strong presence and quick readability are needed. It works well for branding systems that want a modern, active voice—such as sports, fitness, food-and-beverage packaging, event promotion, and punchy web hero text.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a sporty, modern flavor. Its forward lean and compact, high-impact silhouettes suggest motion and urgency while still reading as friendly due to the rounded forms.
Likely designed as a versatile, high-impact italic sans that reads clearly at display sizes while projecting speed and momentum. The rounded construction and simplified lowercase aim to keep the texture approachable, even with a strong, emphatic weight.
Round letters like O and Q are quite broad and stable, while straight-sided capitals (E, F, H, N) remain crisp and blocky, creating a balanced mix of geometric and industrial cues. Numerals are robust and straightforward, with an open, easily recognized 4 and rounded 0/8/9 that match the letterforms’ soft geometry.
