A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with smooth joins and corners that are consistently softened rather than sharp. Round letters (C, O, Q, 0) read as superelliptical ovals, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) keep a sturdy, block-like silhouette. The italic angle is pronounced, and the design maintains a tight, dense rhythm in text with short apertures and strong interior counters.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where strong typographic color is desired—posters, signage, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and bold UI labels. In longer text, it works most effectively for emphasis and subheads rather than continuous reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, combining a sporty forward-lean with friendly rounded shaping. It feels contemporary and attention-grabbing, with a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, geometric feel—using superelliptical rounds and softened corners to stay approachable while the strong slant adds speed and urgency. It aims for consistent, high-density letterforms that hold together as a solid, modern typographic block.
Uppercase forms are wide and stable with simplified geometry, while lowercase keeps the same robust color and rounded terminals; the single-storey shapes (notably a and g) reinforce an informal, display-leaning character. Numerals match the weight and slant closely, reading best at larger sizes where the tight apertures stay clear.
