A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique slant and compact, superelliptical construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with soft, squared-off curves, creating a sturdy, cushiony silhouette rather than sharp geometry. Counters are relatively tight and openings are modest, producing a dense color on the page, while the tall lowercase proportions keep words feeling large and forward. Terminals tend to be blunt and clean, and the overall rhythm is steady and emphatic, optimized for impact at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short callouts, and branding where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It works well for posters, packaging, sports and fitness graphics, and bold UI moments such as banners or feature cards, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the tight counters won’t clog.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, mixing athletic energy with a friendly, approachable softness from the rounded forms. It reads as modern and pragmatic, with a “go-fast” slant that adds momentum and urgency without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a contemporary rounded voice—combining dense, high-energy emphasis with approachable shapes for commercial display typography.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the rounded-rectangle logic shows through in curves like C, G, O, and the bowls of b/p. Numerals are similarly bold and simplified, matching the headline-first personality and maintaining a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
