A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and broad, smoothly rounded curves. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, and corners are softened into rounded joins rather than sharp terminals. Counters are relatively tight, giving the letters a dense, punchy texture, while the italic angle and slightly dynamic shapes keep the rhythm lively. Numerals and capitals follow the same sturdy, rounded construction for a cohesive, impact-first look.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where strong presence is needed. It can work well on packaging and promotional graphics, particularly for sports, fitness, and energetic consumer brands. In interfaces, it fits display roles such as hero text, banners, and navigation labels rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, forward-leaning feel that reads as modern and approachable rather than formal. Its rounded shapes soften the weight, creating a friendly confidence suited to bold messaging and fast-paced branding.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—combining heavy strokes with an italic slant to imply motion, speed, and decisiveness while keeping the forms approachable.
The slant is strong enough to be a defining feature, and the heavy color creates high presence in short lines and headings. Rounded bowls and softened terminals help maintain legibility despite the dense counters, especially at larger sizes.
