A heavy, slanted sans with rounded corners and broad, flattened curves that give letters a smooth, molded look. Strokes stay robust and fairly consistent, with subtle modulation visible in curved joins. Counters are compact and apertures tend toward the closed side, producing dense, logo-like silhouettes. Terminals are mostly squared-off with soft radiusing, and the overall rhythm is forward-leaning with wide letterforms and sturdy horizontals.
Best suited for display settings where impact and momentum matter: headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, bold packaging, and short logo/wordmark applications. The dense counters and strong slant make it less ideal for long body text, but it performs well in large sizes and punchy statements.
The tone feels energetic and assertive, with a sporty, performance-minded attitude. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable and modern rather than aggressive, while the pronounced slant adds speed and motion.
The design appears aimed at delivering high-impact, forward-moving typography with a smooth, contemporary finish—prioritizing presence and speed cues while keeping forms rounded and cohesive for branding.
Uppercase forms read as streamlined and aerodynamic; the lowercase keeps the same weight and slant, with single-storey shapes where applicable and sturdy dots on i/j. Numerals are equally chunky and rounded, designed to match the letter weight and maintain impact in short strings.
