A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are broad and clean, terminals are mostly blunt, and counters stay fairly open despite the weight. Proportions feel compact with a slightly wide stance in round letters, while angled letters (like A, K, V, W, Y) emphasize a crisp diagonal rhythm. The lowercase uses single-storey forms with straightforward joins and minimal detailing, keeping the texture dense and punchy in text.
Best suited to headlines, poster work, and brand marks where a strong, fast-moving voice is desired. It also fits sports and active-lifestyle design, packaging callouts, and short UI/marketing messages where bold emphasis and quick readability matter more than long-form comfort.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, contemporary feel driven by the oblique slant and bold silhouettes. Rounded geometry softens the impact, giving it an approachable, friendly confidence rather than an aggressive edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with clean, geometric shapes and a consistent oblique momentum. It prioritizes clarity and presence at display sizes while maintaining enough openness to remain readable in short paragraphs.
Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, with simple, rounded forms and consistent stroke weight that matches the letters. The slant is steady across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive forward motion in longer lines of text.
