A heavy, right-leaning sans with smooth curves and softened joins. Strokes are broadly even with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to be rounded or gently cut, giving forms a sturdy, compact feel. Counters are moderately open for the weight, with rounded bowls (O, Q, 8) and simplified, geometric construction throughout. The italic angle is consistent and creates a forward rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase, while figures appear sturdy and headline-oriented with clear, bold silhouettes.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and brand marks where bold, slanted emphasis is desired. It works well in sports, fitness, and youth-oriented branding, as well as packaging and posters that need high contrast against a background through mass and silhouette rather than stroke contrast. For longer text, it’s likely most comfortable at larger sizes where counters stay clear.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, with a forward-leaning motion that reads as active and contemporary. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, balancing impact with friendliness. The look carries a subtle retro-sport sensibility—bold, direct, and built to stand out.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact communication with a sense of motion, using a consistent italic slant and rounded, geometric construction to remain approachable. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition, aiming for strong word shapes in display settings.
The uppercase set reads as strong and uniform, while the lowercase introduces more personality through single-storey forms and rounded, compact shapes. Spacing appears tuned for display: tight enough to feel cohesive in words, yet with enough internal openness to keep the heavy weight from clogging at larger sizes.
