A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and strongly rounded corners that give the shapes a soft, superelliptical feel. Strokes are broadly uniform, with tight interior counters and short apertures that keep forms dense and punchy. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, while the curvature is controlled and consistent across rounds like C/O and numerals, producing a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Spacing reads on the tight side in text, reinforcing a solid, poster-like color on the page.
Best suited to display settings where bold presence matters: headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and punchy signage. It also works well for short promotional copy and logo-type where a compact, energetic italic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, attention-grabbing presence. Its slant and condensed, chunky silhouettes evoke retro athletic branding and action-oriented display typography, projecting confidence and speed without feeling sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-rectangle construction and a forward-leaning stance. Its consistent heavy strokes and compact counters suggest a focus on bold branding and headline clarity rather than long-form reading.
Round glyphs stay more squarish than circular, and many characters show angled joins and compact counters that favor impact over openness. Numerals and uppercase have a strong, uniform weight that maintains a consistent black mass at headline sizes, while the lowercase remains stout and highly legible in short bursts.
