A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, rounded curves and sturdy stems that keep stroke weight even throughout. The construction leans geometric, with circular bowls (O, Q, 0) and smoothly transitioned joins, while terminals are clean and mostly sheared by the slant rather than finished with decorative forms. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with tight-looking internal spaces in letters like a, e, and s balanced by large, stable capitals.
Best suited to headlines and short display lines where its strong slant and dense weight can carry impact without needing fine detail. It also works well for branding, packaging, and sports-oriented graphics, and for large numeric callouts where the rounded figures remain clear and cohesive.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, combining a friendly roundness with a forceful, attention-grabbing presence. It reads as contemporary and assertive, with a slight sporty feel driven by the strong slant and dense color on the page.
Designed to deliver a modern, high-energy voice in a clean sans framework, emphasizing speed and momentum through the pronounced slant while maintaining approachable, rounded geometry for broad appeal.
Capitals appear wide and steady with consistent curvature, while lowercase forms stay compact and utilitarian, prioritizing clarity over calligraphic nuance. Figures are bold and simple with smooth curves that match the letterforms, making the font feel cohesive in mixed alphanumeric settings.
