A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad, rounded bowls and blunt terminals. Strokes are largely uniform, producing a dense, solid texture, while the italic slant adds forward motion. Counters are relatively compact in letters like a, e, and s, and the overall geometry favors smooth curves over sharp joins; diagonals in K, V, W, and X are sturdy and clean. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, rounded i/j dots, and a simple, open r, maintaining a consistent, contemporary rhythm across the set.
Best suited to bold headlines, short statements, and display typography where impact matters more than fine detail. It works well for sports and active-lifestyle branding, promotional materials, packaging, and attention-grabbing UI callouts where the italic motion reinforces a sense of speed and momentum.
The overall tone feels energetic and confident, with a sporty immediacy that reads as active and upbeat. Its rounded forms keep it approachable, while the weight and slant make it feel emphatic and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a modern, rounded sans voice, combining heavy strokes with an italic slant to create movement and urgency. It prioritizes strong silhouette and fast recognition in display contexts.
At larger sizes the forms look punchy and polished, and the boldness can cause tight interior spaces to fill in visually at smaller sizes. Numerals are similarly robust and rounded, matching the alphabet’s compact, forward-leaning stance.
