A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded corners and smooth, simplified curves. Strokes stay largely uniform, creating dense silhouettes and a sturdy rhythm, while counters are generously open for the weight. The forms lean on broad, elliptical geometry with slightly squared terminals, giving letters a compact, blocky presence. Lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” and the overall spacing reads tight and punchy at display sizes.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where you want immediate impact. It also fits sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and social or web ads that benefit from a compact, high-contrast-in-size word shape. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample line spacing.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, contemporary feel. Its soft rounding keeps the weight from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, approachable character suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visibility and momentum through a heavy, slanted stance and rounded, geometric construction. It prioritizes punchy readability and a friendly athletic voice for display-oriented typography.
The strong rightward slant and chunky massing emphasize momentum and impact, making the face feel more like a display workhorse than a neutral text tool. Numerals match the letterforms’ broad, rounded construction for consistent color across mixed copy.
