A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, swollen curves that keep the forms soft despite the dense color. Strokes feel monolinear with gentle optical contrast from the slant and curved joins, and terminals are clean and blunt rather than sharp. Counters are relatively tight, emphasizing mass and impact, while the bowls and curves stay smooth and elliptical. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and a rounded dot on i/j, reinforcing an approachable, contemporary construction.
Best suited to large-scale settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, bold packaging callouts, and short UI or app title treatments. The dense shapes and tight counters make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes, but it excels in display text where its slanted energy can lead the layout.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, projecting speed and confidence. Its thick, rounded shapes read as friendly but forceful, giving it a sporty, headline-driven personality with a slightly playful bounce.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a fast, modern slant while keeping the tone approachable through rounded geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and a compact, high-impact texture for attention-grabbing display typography.
Letterforms maintain a consistent, sturdy rhythm across caps and lowercase, with diagonals and angled joins adding momentum. Numerals are bold and compact, matching the dense texture of the letters, and the slant is uniform enough to feel intentional rather than incidental.
