A heavy, forward-leaning sans with broad, rounded bowls and softly squared terminals. The letterforms are built from smooth, low-modulation strokes with generous interior counters and a slightly compressed vertical rhythm that keeps shapes compact while still feeling open. Curves dominate (notably in C, G, O, S), and joins are blunt and sturdy, producing a consistently chunky silhouette. Numerals and capitals follow the same robust geometry, with simplified forms and large, clear counters that hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to attention-grabbing headlines, posters, and large-scale branding where the dense black shape and forward motion can do the work. It also fits sports or fitness identities, product packaging, and social graphics that benefit from a bold, upbeat voice.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a bouncy, athletic cadence created by the slant and the rounded construction. It reads as bold and confident without feeling harsh, leaning into a fun, slightly retro poster-and-jersey sensibility.
The design appears aimed at creating maximum impact with a smooth, contemporary sans structure, combining strong weight and a clear slant to suggest speed and confidence. Rounded geometry and simplified detailing keep it legible and inviting in short bursts of text.
Spacing in the samples feels intentionally tight and cohesive for headline use, with thick shapes that interlock into a strong texture. The italic angle is pronounced enough to add motion, while the rounded finishing keeps the impact friendly rather than aggressive.
