A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly curved corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast and a slightly condensed feel in many letters, while counters stay open enough to keep forms readable. Terminals are blunt and softly squared, and curves tend to resolve into superellipse-like bowls rather than perfect circles. The overall rhythm is sturdy and forward-leaning, with tightly controlled rounding that keeps the texture consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness identities, event graphics, and bold packaging. It can also work for punchy UI headers or labels where a friendly-but-forceful tone is desired. For long passages, its heavy texture and strong slant are likely most effective in larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font reads energetic and upbeat, with a sporty, display-forward attitude. Its rounded geometry and soft corners add approachability, while the pronounced slant and weight give it urgency and motion. The tone lands between retro athletic branding and modern headline utility.
Likely designed to deliver a robust italic voice built from rounded-rectangle forms, prioritizing impact and speed while maintaining a friendly, contemporary softness. The consistent corner treatment and uniform stroke weight suggest an emphasis on cohesive branding and display readability rather than delicate detail.
Distinctive rounded-rect silhouettes show up strongly in letters like O/Q and in the numerals, producing a cohesive, engineered look. The lowercase includes single-storey a and g, and the numerals are bold and compact, helping mixed text feel uniform and impactful. At smaller sizes the weight and slant may dominate, but at headline sizes the shapes feel clean and intentional.
