A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded geometry and compact, tightly closed counters. Strokes stay largely even, with softened joins and subtly squarish curves that keep the forms sturdy rather than delicate. The lowercase shows a prominent x-height and short extenders, contributing to a dense, blocky rhythm, while the overall set maintains consistent weight and smooth, simplified shapes suited to bold display sizing. Numerals are robust and wide-set, matching the letterforms’ solid, rounded construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, product callouts, and promotional graphics. The strong slant and dense weight work especially well for sports, fitness, and energetic brand identities, as well as packaging where bold emphasis and quick recognition are key.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, action-oriented slant that reads as confident and upbeat. Its rounded forms add approachability, preventing the extreme weight from feeling harsh, and the tight, punchy silhouettes suggest momentum and impact.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of speed and momentum, combining geometric roundness with a strong italic stance. The high x-height and compact detailing suggest an emphasis on bold readability in display contexts rather than long-form text.
Spacing appears built for display: letters feel closely packed and visually chunky, with counters that can fill in at smaller sizes. The italic angle is pronounced enough to imply motion, yet the shapes remain stable and geometric, keeping headlines readable and consistent across mixed-case settings.
