A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded bowls and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with clean, blunt terminals, producing a compact, blocky silhouette despite the soft corners. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are mostly closed, giving dense, high-impact word shapes. The uppercase is broad and sturdy, while the lowercase leans on single-storey forms and large internal curves for clarity; numerals are equally chunky with simplified, graphic construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, logos/wordmarks, sports and fitness branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for subheads and display copy in UI or editorial contexts when set with generous size and spacing, but is less ideal for long passages of small text due to its dense counters and strong slant.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a speed-and-motion feel created by the consistent slant and compact massing. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, making it feel contemporary, sporty, and promotional.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display sans that combines speed and emphasis with friendly rounded shapes. Its consistent slant and heavy, compact forms aim to deliver instant visual momentum and strong presence in promotional typography.
Diagonal strokes and joins are emphasized throughout, creating a strong rhythm in sequences like n/m/w and in the angular letters (K, V, W, X, Y). The heavy weight and tight counters suggest best performance at larger sizes where the interior space can breathe.
