A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft, superelliptic corners. Strokes are thick and uniform, with minimal contrast and a tightly controlled rhythm that keeps counters relatively small but clear. Many forms show subtle notches or cut-ins at joins (especially in n/m/u and similar shapes), which helps prevent dark clumping at this weight. Terminals are broadly rounded, apertures are moderately open, and the overall silhouette reads smooth and aerodynamic rather than geometric-sharp.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, and branding where you want a big, confident voice—sports and fitness identities, event promos, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can work in short bursts of copy at medium-to-large sizes, but its dense stroke and tight counters make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The tone is bold and kinetic, with a distinctly sporty, poster-ready presence. Its rounded massing and italic slant give it a friendly, high-energy character that can feel both retro and contemporary, leaning toward action, speed, and impact rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a smooth, fast-moving profile—combining heavy weight, rounded geometry, and an italic slant to project speed and friendliness. The join detailing suggests an effort to preserve clarity and prevent muddiness in tightly set, high-ink display contexts.
Uppercase forms maintain a sturdy, slightly condensed stance with simplified internal structure, while lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, reinforcing an informal, display-led feel. Numerals are equally weighty and rounded, matching the letters closely for cohesive headline setting. The sample text shows strong color and texture at large sizes, with clear word shapes despite the dense stroke weight.
