A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and simplified, geometric construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with rounded corners and smooth circular bowls, creating a dense, high-impact silhouette. Counters are relatively tight (notably in letters like a, e, and 8), and terminals are clean and blunt, keeping the forms crisp at display sizes. The lowercase shows single-storey structures and compact joins, while the overall rhythm stays steady despite slight width variation from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short, bold statements where its mass and slant can do the work of grabbing attention. It also fits sporty branding, event graphics, apparel marks, and packaging that benefits from a compact, high-impact typographic voice. For longer passages, it will be most effective in brief callouts or large sizes where counters have room to breathe.
The slanted posture and hefty weight give the face a sense of speed and forward momentum. Its rounded geometry reads friendly but forceful, producing a bold, attention-grabbing tone that feels at home in energetic, promotional contexts. The overall impression is modern with a subtle vintage “athletic” flavor.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a streamlined, geometric vocabulary and an oblique stance that implies motion. The intent appears to balance friendliness (rounded curves) with assertiveness (dense weight and blunt finishing), making it a strong choice for energetic display typography.
Numerals are sturdy and graphic, with rounded shapes and strong diagonals that match the letterforms. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a unified, action-oriented texture in continuous text lines.
