A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves read as soft superellipses rather than true circles, while straight stems stay sturdy and uniform, giving the design a dense, high-impact silhouette. Terminals are clean and blunt, counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall rhythm feels compact and forward-leaning. Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and simplified; lowercase and numerals keep the same solid, rounded geometry for consistent texture in lines of text.
Best suited to bold headlines, display settings, and short bursts of text where impact matters—such as posters, sports and fitness branding, apparel graphics, packaging, and promotional layouts. It can work for subheads and callouts in editorial or web design when ample spacing is available.
The tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, poster-ready energy. Its rounded massing softens the aggression of the weight, keeping it approachable while still feeling muscular and modern. The pronounced slant adds motion and urgency, making it feel geared toward action and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a streamlined, rounded-rectangular skeleton and an italicized sense of speed. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent texture over delicate detail, aiming for a contemporary, performance-oriented display voice.
The font maintains strong consistency between uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing an even, dark typographic color. The slant and tight internal spaces make it most effective when set with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing, especially at larger sizes.
