A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, closed counters and broadly curved bowls. Strokes are sturdy and consistent, with softened joins that keep the silhouette smooth rather than sharp. Uppercase forms are compact and slightly condensed in feel, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with generous apertures where needed. Numerals match the same rounded geometry and weight, producing a cohesive, solid texture in both short words and longer lines.
Best suited for headlines, short bursts of copy, and brand-driven applications where a strong, dynamic voice is needed. It works well for posters, packaging, product marks, and sports or fitness-themed design, and can be effective in UI or signage when set with adequate spacing to avoid overly dark blocks of text.
The overall tone is upbeat and assertive, with a contemporary, sporty flavor. Its slant adds motion and urgency, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. The weight and compactness convey confidence and impact, making it feel suited to energetic, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a sense of motion, combining a robust sans structure with rounded, friendly contours. It prioritizes clear shapes and strong presence in display settings while remaining coherent in longer sample text.
In text, the strong massing creates a dense color that benefits from comfortable tracking and line spacing. Round characters (like O and Q) feel especially full and stable, and the punctuation and dots read as bold, simple shapes that stay visible at display sizes.
