A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded construction and largely monoline strokes. Letterforms lean forward with a consistent slant and a compact, punchy footprint, while counters stay open enough for clarity. Curves are broadly elliptical (notably in O, C, G, 0, 8, 9), and diagonals are assertive and clean, giving the alphabet a crisp rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and streamlined, and the figures share the same forward-leaning, rounded geometry for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, kinetic presence is desired. It works well for sports, fitness, and event promotion, and can also support bold packaging and display-led UI moments where impact matters more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a distinctly energetic, contemporary feel. The forward slant and sturdy shapes project motion and confidence, reading as sporty and promotional rather than formal or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, motion-forward display sans: sturdy, rounded forms paired with an oblique stance to communicate speed and emphasis while keeping shapes simple and broadly legible.
In running text the dense weight and tight inner spaces create a strong, dark color that favors larger sizes and short bursts of copy. The design’s consistency between caps, lowercase, and numerals helps maintain a unified voice across headings and numeric-heavy callouts.
