A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded geometry. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with softly curved joins and terminals that keep the forms friendly despite the weight. Counters are relatively tight (especially in round letters and numerals), creating dense, punchy silhouettes. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving the face a cohesive forward-leaning rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and active-lifestyle branding, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for social media graphics where strong silhouettes and quick readability at larger sizes are needed; for longer passages, the dense counters and heavy weight may feel visually insistent.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, in-motion feel. Its rounded construction and soft terminals add a playful warmth, keeping it approachable rather than harsh. The strong weight and steady slant make it feel confident and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning, energetic stance while maintaining a friendly, rounded voice. It prioritizes strong shapes and consistent texture to perform reliably in display contexts and bold branding applications.
The uppercase set reads blocky and stable, while the lowercase leans into compact, single-storey forms that emphasize speed and boldness. Numerals are similarly hefty and rounded, matching the letterforms closely for consistent color in mixed text and display settings.
