A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and tightly controlled curves. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with smooth terminals and large counters that keep forms open despite the weight. Proportions feel compact and forward-leaning, with sturdy verticals and diagonals and a consistent, slightly condensed rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where strong typographic color is desired—headlines, posters, sports or fitness graphics, bold brand wordmarks, and attention-grabbing packaging. It can also work for UI accents or section titles where a compact, energetic emphasis is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, contemporary attitude. Its forward slant and dense color create a sense of motion and confidence while the rounded shapes soften the impact and keep it approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a modern, rounded sans voice—combining a strong, compact presence with an oblique stance to suggest speed and momentum while maintaining clear, legible counters.
Letterforms show a clean, engineered feel: round characters are close to circular, joins are sturdy, and diagonals read crisply at display sizes. Numerals match the same robust, rounded logic, giving the set a cohesive, headline-ready texture.
