A heavy oblique sans with rounded, slightly squarish curves and sturdy, low-detail construction. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, producing solid counters and strong silhouettes. The forms feel soft at the corners rather than sharp, and the overall rhythm is tightly spaced and dense, helping the letters read as a cohesive block. Numerals follow the same weighty, rounded logic, with simplified shapes and robust bowls.
Best suited for display settings where strong impact matters: headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and bold social or promo graphics. It also works well for short subheads or labels that need a compact, high-energy presence.
The tone is punchy and energetic, with a sporty, attention-grabbing slant that suggests speed and momentum. Its rounded heft keeps it friendly while still feeling forceful and confident, making it well suited to bold, extroverted messaging.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact in an oblique, contemporary sans voice—prioritizing bold presence, quick recognition, and a dynamic feel over fine detail or text-size neutrality.
The oblique angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the heavy weight emphasizes word shapes more than internal detail. Round letters like O/Q and bowl-heavy glyphs like B/P/R read especially strong, while the overall density favors short bursts of text over extended reading.
