A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tightly managed counters. Strokes are broad and consistent, with crisp terminals that often appear cut on an angle, reinforcing forward motion. Curves read as superelliptical rather than circular, giving bowls and shoulders a squared-off roundness. The overall silhouette is compact and dense, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the body and a strong baseline presence; spacing looks built for headline tightness rather than airy text settings.
Best suited to short, prominent copy such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness identities, and bold promotional layouts where density and impact are desirable. It can also work for packaging or UI headers when a strong, kinetic voice is needed, but its compact counters and heavy color make it less suitable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, action-oriented feel. Its bold slant and blocky, rounded forms suggest speed, competition, and high-impact messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, modern sans voice, using slanted momentum and superelliptical rounding to stay friendly while remaining aggressive and attention-grabbing.
Uppercase forms emphasize chunky geometry and minimal interior space, while lowercase maintains the same compact rhythm; the dot on the “i” is rectangular and the “g” appears single-storey, both aligning with the squared-round motif. Numerals are wide and weighty, matching the letterforms for consistent color in display use.
