A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and a distinctly rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and relatively even, with softened corners and flattened curves that give round letters a squarish, superelliptic feel. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, producing dense color and strong silhouette clarity. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, with sturdy diagonals and stable, blocky geometry across both uppercase and lowercase.
This font is well suited for high-impact display settings where immediate readability and a strong voice are needed—sports and fitness identities, promotional posters, bold headline systems, and energetic packaging. It performs best at medium-to-large sizes, where the tight counters and dense weight can be appreciated without clogging.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, reading as athletic and action-oriented. Its soft rounding keeps the attitude friendly rather than aggressive, while the dense weight and forward slant add urgency and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a contemporary, rounded-geometry look—combining a fast, italic stance with soft-cornered, superelliptic shapes to create a powerful yet approachable display sans.
Uppercase forms feel poster-like and geometric, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, utilitarian rhythm with minimal modulation. Numerals match the same rounded-block construction and maintain a strong, uniform presence at display sizes.
