A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and generously softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and smooth with modest contrast, giving the forms a solid, inked-in feel. Counters tend to be compact and slightly squarish, while terminals are consistently rounded, producing a cohesive superellipse rhythm. The overall silhouette is sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with prominent diagonals and a tight, assertive texture in words.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness identities, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for short subheads and labels when ample size and spacing are available, but the dense texture and heavy strokes make it less ideal for extended text at small sizes.
The tone is fast, bold, and athletic, suggesting motion and impact. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly rather than aggressive, balancing strength with approachability. The italic slant and chunky weight add a sense of urgency and headline-ready confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-rectangle aesthetic—combining a dynamic italic stance with sturdy, simplified letterforms for strong recognition in branding and promotional typography.
Lowercase forms read as simplified and sturdy, with single-storey constructions and minimal detailing. Numerals are equally blocky and rounded, designed to hold up at large sizes with clear, high-contrast silhouettes. The overall word-shape is dense, making it most effective where a compact, high-impact presence is desired.
