A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad, rounded-rectangle geometry and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are built from superelliptical bowls, giving letters a soft-cornered, slightly compressed feel, while terminals are clean and largely squared-off rather than tapered. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is tight and forward-moving, with consistent stroke thickness and sturdy joins that hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and short emphatic messaging where the weight and slant can do the work. It also fits sports and fitness branding, energetic campaigns, packaging callouts, and bold wayfinding or signage where high visual presence is desired.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, action-oriented slant that reads fast and loud. Its rounded sturdiness keeps it friendly enough for contemporary branding, but the mass and angle push it toward urgency and impact rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a contemporary, rounded industrial flavor—combining a strong oblique stance with soft-cornered geometry for a confident, modern display voice.
The forms emphasize simplified, blocky silhouettes with rounded corners, producing strong black shapes and clear word images in headlines. Numerals match the same robust, superelliptical construction, maintaining consistent color and presence alongside capitals and lowercase.
