A rounded, geometric sans with a strong rightward slant and sturdy, even strokes. Curves are smooth and generously proportioned, with broad bowls and open counters that keep forms clear at large sizes. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic, with clean terminals and simplified construction that emphasizes legibility and impact over fine detailing.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its slanted stance and heavy presence can drive attention—such as branding, campaign graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional signage. It can also work for UI labels or navigation in contexts that benefit from a bold, energetic personality, provided sufficient size and spacing.
The tone is upbeat and assertive, reading as contemporary and active. Its pronounced slant and solid texture suggest motion and momentum, giving it a sporty, promotional feel while still staying approachable due to its rounded shapes.
Likely intended as an energetic display sans that blends geometric clarity with rounded friendliness, delivering a modern, motion-forward look for marketing and brand-forward typography.
Uppercase forms feel compact and powerful, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey look where applicable, reinforcing a contemporary, utilitarian voice. Numerals match the same robust, rounded construction, producing a consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
