A rounded, slanted sans with sturdy strokes and smooth, continuous curves. The letterforms lean forward with a lively rhythm, using broad counters and softly tapered joins that keep the shapes cohesive at display sizes. Uppercase forms are compact and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase stays simple and open, with single-storey constructions and gently curved terminals. Numerals follow the same forward-leaning, rounded geometry, keeping a consistent color and weight across mixed text.
This font is a strong choice for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a fast, energetic tone is desirable. It also fits sports-themed graphics, apparel marks, and short marketing copy that benefits from a bold, friendly slant.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. The forward slant and rounded forms suggest motion and friendliness, giving the type a casual, approachable voice rather than a formal or technical one.
The design appears intended to deliver an energetic italic voice in a clean sans framework, prioritizing impact and momentum while keeping counters open and forms rounded for approachability. It aims for display clarity and a consistent, lively texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
In the sample text, the type sets with a strong, even texture and clear word shapes, making it well-suited to short lines and emphatic messaging. Curved letters like O/C/S and the diagonals in V/W/X emphasize a dynamic, slightly retro-leaning personality.
