A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are monolinear and dense, producing a compact, high-impact texture, while counters stay fairly open for the weight. Curves tend toward superelliptical shapes rather than true circles, and diagonals (in forms like A, K, V, W, X, Y) feel brisk and engineered. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm reads as sturdy and streamlined rather than delicate or calligraphic.
Best suited to display roles where strong presence and quick readability matter—sports and fitness identities, event posters, product packaging, storefront signage, and short headline systems. It can work for brief UI labels or navigation at larger sizes, but the dense weight is most effective when given room and contrast.
The tone is bold and kinetic, with a contemporary, performance-oriented feel. Its slanted stance and blocky rounding suggest speed, assertiveness, and a friendly toughness—more athletic and promotional than formal or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a smooth, modern silhouette—combining a bold, slanted stance with rounded geometry to communicate speed and confidence without sharpness.
Letterforms show a controlled, slightly condensed presence with a consistent forward lean, giving lines of text a continuous “in-motion” flow. The numerals match the same chunky, rounded geometry and maintain strong legibility at display sizes.
