A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, full bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt, giving the forms a dense, graphic presence. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s, while circular letters such as O and Q maintain smooth, near-elliptical geometry. The lowercase shows sturdy, simplified constructions (single-storey a and g) and a compact, sturdy rhythm that stays legible even at large display sizes.
This typeface performs best in display contexts where impact matters—headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and large-scale signage. It also fits sports and fitness branding, packaging fronts, and social media creatives where a strong, kinetic silhouette helps text stand out.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, forward-leaning momentum. Its chunky curves and tight spacing create a confident, attention-grabbing voice that feels contemporary and a bit playful, suited to punchy, high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and motion in a clean, sans-serif framework. Its rounded geometry and simplified shapes prioritize bold readability and a lively, contemporary feel for branding and promotional typography.
The numerals are large and blocky with rounded interiors, matching the letterforms’ dense color and slanted stance. Diagonal-heavy letters (K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the forward motion, while the round letters keep the texture friendly rather than harsh.
