A heavy, right-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broad and even, with large, blocky silhouettes and compact internal counters that create a dense, high-impact texture. The forms favor squarish curves (notably in O/C/S) and sturdy diagonals, while terminals read as blunt and slightly chamfered. Spacing and widths vary by letter, but the overall rhythm stays cohesive through consistent stroke mass and a unified slant.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and motion are desirable: sports and fitness branding, event posters, promotional headlines, packaging callouts, and UI marketing banners. It performs especially well in short phrases, logos, and large typographic blocks where the dense shapes and rounded geometry can read clearly.
The tone is assertive and energetic, combining a sporty forward motion with a friendly, cushioned geometry. Its rounded superellipse shapes keep the mood approachable even at maximum emphasis, lending a playful, contemporary feel suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a forward, dynamic slant while avoiding harshness through rounded-rectangle curves. It aims for a modern, energetic voice that remains approachable and brand-friendly for contemporary display typography.
At text sizes the weight and tight counters produce a strong, dark color, while at display sizes the rounded-square curves and italic stance become the defining character. Numerals follow the same sturdy, compact logic and match the bold, energetic voice of the letters.
