A heavy, oblique sans with broad, slightly condensed counters and rounded geometry throughout. Strokes are thick and steady with gently softened corners, giving curves a smooth, inflated feel while keeping terminals crisp and clean. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with wide letterforms and ample internal weight that holds up well at large sizes.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and sports or fitness branding where a strong, forward-leaning voice is desirable. It can also work for short blurbs and callouts in advertising, packaging, and social content, especially when you want bold emphasis and a sense of motion.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, poster-like presence that reads as upbeat rather than aggressive. Its rounded forms and steady slant add friendliness and motion, suggesting momentum, speed, and modern display attitude with a hint of retro athletics.
The design appears intended as a display-forward oblique sans that combines strong mass with rounded, approachable shaping. It aims to deliver immediate visibility and a dynamic, energetic texture for prominent typography rather than long-form reading.
Uppercase shapes feel blocky and confident, while lowercase forms stay simple and sturdy, prioritizing silhouette clarity over delicate detail. Numerals match the same bold, rounded construction and maintain a cohesive texture in running text, creating a dense, attention-grabbing color on the page.
