A heavy, compact sans with a pronounced rightward slant and rounded, softly finished terminals. The letterforms are built from broad strokes and smooth curves, keeping contrast minimal while relying on tapered joins and angled cuts to add motion. Counters are relatively small for the weight, with generous rounding that keeps shapes open enough to read in short bursts. Overall spacing and proportions feel tight and energetic, producing a dense, punchy texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, energetic voice is needed. It works particularly well for sports and fitness identities, product packaging, and logo wordmarks, and can also serve as an attention-grabbing accent type in ads or social graphics where short text needs to hit hard.
The tone is upbeat and action-oriented, with a friendly, slightly retro feel reminiscent of athletic branding and headline display typography. Its slant and rounded construction give it a sense of speed and approachability rather than severity, making it feel confident and playful at the same time.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint while signaling motion through its consistent slant and rounded, streamlined forms. The emphasis is on bold, friendly legibility and a lively rhythm that stays cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Figures share the same forward-leaning stance and chunky geometry as the letters, creating a cohesive voice for alphanumerics. The design favors bold silhouettes over fine detail, with rounded corners and angled stroke endings that help maintain clarity and momentum in larger sizes.
