A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick with little visible contrast, producing dense, high-impact letterforms. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular geometry (notably in C, O, and e), while joins and terminals are clean and simplified, giving the design a crisp, streamlined rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are moderately open, balancing bold presence with legibility in short lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and punchy short-form messaging where bold, energetic emphasis is needed. It can work well for sports, fitness, entertainment, and product packaging applications, especially at medium to large sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is punchy and upbeat, combining athletic urgency with approachable roundness. Its strong forward lean and compact counters convey motion and confidence, making it feel promotional and extroverted rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance while retaining friendly, rounded shapes. It prioritizes strong presence and contemporary momentum over delicate detailing, aiming for clear, attention-grabbing display typography.
In text, the weight and slant create a strong texture with pronounced word shapes, while the rounded construction keeps the black forms from feeling harsh. Numerals match the letterforms in mass and curvature, reading as sturdy and display-oriented.
