A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves read as superelliptical—corners are softened but not soft, producing a sturdy, blocky silhouette. Strokes stay robust with subtle modulation, while counters are relatively tight, boosting color and density. Terminals are clean and largely square-cut, and the slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving the whole set a forward-leaning rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where strong presence is needed: posters, retail signage, packaging callouts, sports and fitness branding, and promotional graphics. It can also work for UI or labels in limited doses when a bold, energetic tone is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, high-impact presence. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly enough to feel contemporary rather than aggressive, but the weight and slant still communicate urgency and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a modern, rounded-rect geometry and a built-in sense of motion from the oblique stance. Consistent, sturdy shapes and tight counters suggest a focus on attention-grabbing display typography that stays cohesive across letters and numbers.
The lowercase shows pragmatic, compact forms that prioritize bold legibility over delicacy, and the numerals match the same chunky, rounded-square logic for cohesive display setting. The spacing in text appears designed to hold together as a strong headline texture, especially at larger sizes where the superelliptical curves and angled stance become most apparent.
