A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and a rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and steady with subtly softened corners, producing superellipse-like bowls and apertures. The italics are built into the shapes rather than added as a simple shear, giving letters a forward-leaning, aerodynamic stance while keeping a compact, solid color on the page. Counters are relatively tight and openings are controlled, emphasizing density and impact at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact copy where weight and width can do the work—posters, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics. In longer passages, the dense interior spaces suggest using generous leading and tracking or reserving it for emphasis and subheads.
The overall tone is assertive and high-energy, with a sporty, action-oriented feel. Its wide footprint and forward lean read as dynamic and confident, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and momentum in a clean, geometric voice—combining broad, rounded forms with a built-in slant to signal speed and modernity while remaining straightforward and sans-driven.
Letterforms favor simplified geometry and strong horizontals, with a consistent rounded terminal treatment that helps unify mixed-case text. Numerals match the same sturdy, condensed-counter look, staying highly graphic and headline-driven.
