A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded construction and softly eased corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves dominate the silhouette, producing smooth, compact counters in letters like O, e, and a. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey look where applicable, maintaining an even rhythm. Numerals match the letterforms with sturdy shapes and rounded joins, reading best at medium to large sizes where interior spaces open up.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display typography where its mass and slant can convey momentum and emphasis. It can work well in branding, sports and athleisure graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional banners. For longer passages, it’s most effective in short subheads or emphasis lines rather than continuous body text.
The tone is bold and forward-leaning, with a sporty, high-impact presence that feels contemporary and upbeat. Rounded shapes temper the weight, giving it a friendly, approachable edge rather than an aggressive one. Overall, it signals motion and confidence, suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, motion-oriented sans that stays friendly through rounded geometry. Its heavy, uniform strokes prioritize visual presence and quick recognition in display settings, while the consistent shapes keep the overall system cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The italic slant and dense stroke weight create strong word-shapes, but tight internal spaces in smaller sizes may reduce clarity, especially in characters with enclosed counters. The overall texture is dark and uniform, making it effective for short bursts of text and prominent typographic moments.
