A heavy, oblique sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves are broad and smooth, corners are softened, and stroke endings tend to finish with subtly rounded terminals rather than sharp cuts. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and round letters like O/C/G read as squarish ovals with consistent curvature. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and assertive, with uniform stroke color and minimal modulation, creating a dense, even texture in text.
Best suited for branding systems, headlines, posters, and packaging where a bold, modern voice is needed. It also fits sports, fitness, and tech-adjacent communications thanks to its forward motion and sturdy, rounded forms; for long passages, it will read most comfortably at larger text sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is contemporary and energetic, with a sporty, action-forward slant that feels upbeat rather than formal. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable and friendly, while the heavy color projects confidence and impact.
The design appears intended to combine geometric, superelliptical shapes with a strong oblique stance to deliver high-impact readability and a contemporary, energetic personality. The consistent stroke weight and softened corners suggest a focus on solid color, friendly presence, and clean reproduction across print and screen.
The numerals are similarly rounded and robust, matching the letterforms in weight and curvature; the “1” is simple and upright with a small base, while “0” is a rounded superellipse. Lowercase forms appear compact and sturdy, with single-storey shapes where applicable and a consistent, engineered feel that prioritizes clarity at display sizes.
