This typeface is a slanted sans with sturdy, rounded strokes and smooth, geometric curves. Letterforms are built from simple, even-weight shapes with broad bowls and open counters, giving a clear, uncluttered texture. Terminals tend to be softly finished rather than sharp, and the overall rhythm is forward-leaning with compact joins and stable verticals. Numerals and capitals read solid and uniform, while lowercase forms maintain a straightforward, contemporary construction.
It works well for branding and headline settings where a modern, energetic voice is needed, such as sports, fitness, and youth-oriented identity systems. The sturdy shapes and open interiors also support short-to-medium text in UI callouts, packaging, and promotional collateral where clarity at larger sizes is important.
The overall tone feels active and assertive, with a forward motion that suggests speed and momentum. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, balancing the strong presence with a friendly, contemporary feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, motion-driven sans that remains clean and legible, combining geometric roundness with an oblique stance for emphasis. It aims for high impact in display contexts while staying controlled and consistent enough for practical typographic use.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive flow in text. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S emphasize a circular, engineered feel, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) add a dynamic, athletic edge.
