A heavy, rounded sans with a strong oblique slant and compact, energetic proportions. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and sturdy silhouettes. Curves are built from broad circular/elliptical forms (notably in O, C, G, and the numerals), while terminals are clean and blunt, keeping the shapes crisp at display sizes. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a sturdy, bowl-driven structure, and a dotted i/j with simple round dots; figures are full and tightly fitted with prominent curves and minimal interior space.
Best suited to headlines, short callouts, and logo or wordmark work where bold presence is the priority. It fits sports and fitness branding, promotional posters, punchy packaging, and energetic UI labels when set large with ample line spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that reads as sporty and modern. Its very dark color and rounded geometry feel friendly but forceful, suited to messaging that needs impact and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning voice while staying approachable through rounded, geometric construction. It prioritizes strong silhouette and brandable shapes over small-size text legibility.
Spacing appears tight and the heavy weight closes up apertures in letters like e and s, which increases visual mass and improves punch at large sizes. The strong slant and dense counters can reduce clarity in smaller text, but it maintains a consistent, cohesive rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
