A heavy, oblique sans with rounded construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with generous counters and softened joins that keep the texture readable despite the weight. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the overall rhythm feels compact and forward-leaning, with sturdy verticals and broad, stable curves in letters like O, C, and G. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy (single-storey a and g), and the numerals are bold and open with clear silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where strong presence and forward motion are desirable. It works well for sports and fitness identities, poster typography, punchy packaging callouts, and display UI moments such as hero banners or promo tiles where impact outweighs long-form reading comfort.
The font communicates energy and momentum through its pronounced slant and dense, high-impact color. Rounded shapes temper the aggressiveness, giving it a confident but approachable tone that reads as contemporary and performance-oriented rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-energy display voice: a bold, slanted sans that stays friendly through rounded geometry while maintaining strong legibility at large sizes.
The glyphs show a consistent geometric-leaning roundness paired with slightly squared terminals, producing a clean, no-nonsense look. In text, the boldness creates strong emphasis and a tight, billboard-like texture, best when set with ample leading or in short lines.
