A heavy, tightly set sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact proportions. Strokes stay broadly even, with rounded outer curves and mostly squared terminals, producing sturdy, block-like silhouettes. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall rhythm is dense and continuous, with diagonals and bowls kept clean and simple for strong word-shape. Numerals follow the same compact, forceful construction, with broad curves and minimal interior space.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where bold presence and a sense of motion are desirable. It can work well for sports and fitness branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and high-contrast signage where compact width helps fit more characters without losing emphasis.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a fast, forward-leaning feel that reads as sporty and attention-grabbing. Its bold mass and condensed stance give it a poster-like urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while projecting speed and confidence. Its simplified, rounded construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent texture for display typography.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping lines of text maintain momentum. Rounded characters like O/C/G and the circular dots on i/j reinforce the geometric impression, while the thick joins and tight counters emphasize impact over delicacy.
