A heavy, rounded sans with a pronounced oblique slant and compact, powerful silhouettes. Strokes are thick and consistent, with smoothly curved joins and softened terminals that keep the texture dense but not sharp. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a/e/s, while round forms (o/0) stay clean and open, creating a strong, high-impact rhythm. The numerals match the letterforms’ weight and curvature, reading as sturdy and simplified with clear, bold shapes.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and prominent UI or signage where bold emphasis is needed. It works well for sports, lifestyle, and retail branding, as well as packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from a compact, energetic typographic voice.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, combining athletic urgency with approachable roundness. It feels contemporary and promotional, designed to grab attention quickly while staying friendly rather than aggressive.
Likely intended as a bold, attention-first oblique sans for display use, prioritizing momentum, impact, and quick readability at larger sizes. The rounded construction suggests a deliberate balance between assertiveness and approachability.
The oblique angle and broad curves create a forward-leaning motion that becomes especially prominent in longer lines of text. Uppercase forms are straightforward and geometric, while lowercase shows single-storey constructions and simplified details that emphasize speed and punch over delicacy.
