A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact, rounded-rectangle construction and tightly controlled curves. Strokes are thick and consistent with moderate modulation, and terminals are cleanly cut with a mix of flat and softly rounded endings. Counters are relatively small, giving the letters a dense, high-impact color, while the rhythm stays steady across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The overall silhouette favors superelliptical rounds and sturdy verticals, producing a solid, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to bold display work such as headlines, event posters, sports and fitness branding, and punchy promotional graphics. It can also work for packaging callouts or short UI labels where strong emphasis is needed, though its dense color favors larger sizes over extended text.
The tone is fast and forceful, with a sporty, action-oriented slant that reads as confident and urgent. Its dense shapes and rounded geometry keep it contemporary rather than aggressive, lending an energetic but approachable voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed, combining a strong oblique stance with rounded, modern shapes for a contemporary display voice.
The oblique angle is pronounced enough to suggest motion, and the letterforms maintain clear differentiation even at large sizes. Numerals match the lettering’s weight and stance, supporting cohesive headline and scoreboard-style settings.
