A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and smooth with softened corners and predominantly geometric curves, giving bowls and counters a compact, superelliptical feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while joins stay clean and sturdy, producing a dense, high-impact texture. The overall rhythm is stable and uniform, with wide set capitals, a sturdy lowercase, and similarly robust numerals that hold their shape at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and sports or fitness branding. It can also work well on packaging and promotional layouts where a bold, energetic typographic stamp is needed, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The font reads as fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a distinctly sporty, headline-driven tone. Its slant and mass create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded corners keep the voice friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, geometric voice—combining wide, sturdy letterforms with rounded-rectangle shaping and a consistent forward slant to suggest speed and modernity.
The heavy weight and compact counters make it most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing, especially in longer lines. The italic slant is consistent across letters and figures, helping words form a cohesive forward-leaning silhouette.
