A heavy, oblique sans with compact, rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are low-contrast and broadly uniform, with squared terminals that are subtly radiused rather than sharp. Counters tend to be tight and superelliptical, producing a dense, solid texture; the lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” and the overall rhythm feels slightly compressed by the forward slant and bold joins. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky, rounded geometry, keeping the set visually cohesive at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and branding where bold, slanted emphasis is desired—sports and fitness identities, event posters, labels, and merchandise graphics. It can work for subheads or callouts in editorial and advertising layouts when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The tone is athletic and high-impact, combining urgency from the slant with a friendly toughness from the rounded corners. It reads as confident and motion-oriented—more about momentum and presence than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, forceful display voice built from rounded, superelliptical forms—prioritizing impact, consistency, and a sense of forward motion. The softened geometry suggests approachability while retaining a sturdy, industrial strength.
The italic angle is strong enough to feel purposeful rather than incidental, and the wide, blunt joins give diagonals (like in K, V, W, X) a muscular, engineered look. Openings and apertures are somewhat restrained, which strengthens the headline punch but can make small-size text feel dense.
