A heavy oblique sans with rounded, softly squared contours and a consistent, low‑contrast stroke. Forms are broad and stable, with open apertures and compressed inner counters that create a dense, high-ink texture at text sizes. Curves read as smoothly engineered rather than calligraphic, and the slant is steady across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving lines a fast forward rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and simplified with generous width and strong, blunt terminals.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact copy where the strong slant and heavy texture can carry energy and emphasis. It works well for sports and fitness branding, promotional graphics, packaging, and bold UI moments like hero banners or feature callouts where immediate legibility at larger sizes is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, combining a sporty forward lean with friendly rounded geometry. It feels contemporary and promotional, designed to grab attention quickly while staying clean and uncomplicated.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, energetic display voice with a clear sans structure, using a pronounced oblique stance and rounded geometry to balance aggression with approachability.
The letterforms prioritize impact over delicacy: joins and terminals are thick and decisive, and the oblique angle amplifies motion in headlines. In longer settings the dense counters and strong slant create a loud typographic color, making spacing and line length important for comfort.
