A heavy, rounded sans with a pronounced rightward slant and chunky, compact letterforms. Strokes are broadly uniform with low contrast, and corners tend to be softly eased rather than sharp, giving counters a smooth, oval feel. The forms read as slightly condensed in places, with tight interior spaces in letters like a, e, and s, and robust, simplified joins that hold up well at display sizes. Overall spacing appears compact, emphasizing a dense, impactful texture in words and lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It works especially well for sports and fitness identities, youth-oriented campaigns, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where the italic slant can add momentum. Use with generous size and spacing when longer lines are required to preserve counter clarity.
The font projects an upbeat, sporty tone with a casual, approachable confidence. Its rounded mass and italic movement create a sense of speed and bounce, making it feel lively and contemporary rather than formal or restrained.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded sans structure while using an italic angle to suggest motion. The simplified, sturdy shapes prioritize bold presence and quick recognition in display settings.
The numerals follow the same bold, rounded construction, with simplified shapes and strong silhouettes that remain clear at a glance. In running text, the combination of heavy weight and tight counters creates a dark color, favoring short headlines or emphatic messaging over long-form reading.
