A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broad and stable, with subtle contrast and a forward-leaning axis that creates a fast, compressed rhythm in text. Many joins and terminals show small triangular cut-ins/ink-trap-like notches that sharpen counters and prevent dark spots, especially in tight interiors. Lowercase forms sit on a tall x-height with compact apertures and short ascenders/descenders, while numerals and caps maintain a sturdy, blocky footprint with smooth, superelliptical curves.
Best suited for display applications where bold, slanted typography is needed: sports and fitness branding, event posters, product packaging, and punchy editorial or social graphics. It can also work for short subheads and callouts, but longer text will benefit from generous size and tracking to keep counters clear.
The overall tone is punchy and performance-driven, combining smooth, rounded geometry with hard-edged cut details that read as technical and aggressive. It suggests speed, strength, and a slightly retro athletic attitude—confident, loud, and built for impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-rect geometry and built-in cut details that add bite and improve interior clarity in heavy strokes. Its tall lowercase and forward slant emphasize speed and immediacy, aiming at contemporary branding and headline environments.
At large sizes the notch details add character and a distinctive silhouette; in denser settings those interior cuts and tight apertures may visually fill in, so spacing and size choices matter. The oblique stance is integral to the design rather than a mild slant, giving headings a strong directional motion.
