A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal contrast, producing dense, blocky silhouettes and strong color on the page. Curves and counters tend toward squarish rounds (superellipse-like), and many joins feel slightly sheared, reinforcing the forward slant. Terminals are blunt and rounded, while spacing is relatively tight, giving words a compact, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where strong typographic color is desired. It can work well for sports and fitness branding, energetic packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a compact, forward-leaning stance. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a sporty, modern swagger. Its rounded forms keep the voice approachable, while the aggressive weight and slant add urgency and momentum. The feel lands between athletic branding and playful, high-impact display typography.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with minimal fuss: a compact, rounded, slanted sans that reads fast and feels dynamic. The consistent stroke weight and softened geometry suggest an intention to balance toughness with approachability for attention-grabbing display use.
The numeral set matches the compact, rounded geometry of the letters and reads best at larger sizes where the tight apertures and counters stay clear. Uppercase shapes lean toward condensed, squared-off rounds, while lowercase forms remain sturdy and utilitarian rather than calligraphic.
