A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and tightly enclosed counters. Curves are built from smooth, rounded geometry, while many joins and terminals cut to sharp angles, creating a lively mix of soft bowls and crisp edges. The rhythm is compact and forceful, with sturdy stems, short apertures, and a consistent, low-detail construction that keeps forms bold and blocky at display sizes. Numerals and caps share the same muscular stance, with rounded shapes (like O, 8, 9) staying dense and strongly filled.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, logos, and promotional graphics where impact is the priority. It works especially well for sports and active-lifestyle branding, bold packaging titles, and attention-grabbing signage, and can also serve as a strong accent typeface paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, poster-like presence. Its slant and chunky shapes add motion and attitude, reading as upbeat and slightly retro while remaining clean and modern in construction.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a sense of speed and friendliness, combining rounded, geometric bowls with angled terminals for a distinctive, high-energy silhouette.
Diagonal cuts show up frequently on terminals and interior corners, giving letters a distinctive chiseled look without adding ornament. The lowercase set appears designed to match the caps’ mass and momentum, keeping word shapes compact and attention-grabbing in continuous text.
