A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded, superelliptical construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Counters are generous for the weight, with rounded corners and blunt terminals that keep shapes compact and sturdy. Curves lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry (notably in O, C, and the numerals), while diagonals are clean and forceful, giving the alphabet a tight, energetic rhythm. The lowercase follows the same robust build with simple, single-storey forms and a consistent rightward slant.
Well-suited for short, impact-driven settings such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional materials. It performs best when used large, where its rounded geometry and energetic slant can read clearly and deliver a strong visual punch.
The overall tone is assertive and high-energy, reading as sporty and attention-grabbing. Its smooth rounding and compact mass give it a friendly toughness—bold without feeling sharp or aggressive. The italic slant adds motion, making it feel active and promotional.
The design appears intended as an italicized, high-impact sans that combines rounded, superelliptical forms with a compact, muscular build. Its consistent slant and smooth terminals suggest a focus on speed, modernity, and bold brand presence rather than long-form reading.
At text sizes the dense color and tight interior shapes create strong emphasis, while the open counters help maintain legibility for such a heavy style. The numerals share the same rounded, compact silhouette, reinforcing a cohesive display character across letters and figures.
