A very heavy, oblique sans with rounded, compact forms and a lively forward slant. Strokes are thick and even with gently softened corners, producing sturdy silhouettes and strong color on the page. Counters are relatively tight (notably in rounded letters and numerals), and terminals tend to be blunt or subtly curved rather than sharp. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly compressed in feel, with clear, bold shapes that hold together well in short bursts of text.
Best used for headlines, posters, and prominent branding where impact and motion are priorities. It’s a strong fit for sports and fitness identities, energetic campaigns, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. For longer text, it will generally perform better at larger sizes or with generous spacing to preserve clarity.
The font conveys an assertive, high-impact tone with a sporty, contemporary attitude. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice approachable, while the strong weight and slant add urgency and momentum—well suited to messaging that needs to feel active and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a modern, rounded sans construction, using a consistent oblique slant to suggest speed and energy. It prioritizes bold presence and readability at display sizes, aiming for a friendly-but-forceful tone.
The oblique angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive forward motion. Round letters (like O/C/G and 8/9) read as robust and smooth, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) emphasize the dynamic slant. In dense settings the heavy weight and tight counters can make long passages feel compact, but it remains highly attention-grabbing.
