A very heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and smoothly rounded curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, with compact inner counters that stay open enough to read at display sizes. Terminals are clean and slightly softened rather than sharp, and many joins show a subtle, engineered squareness that gives the forms a sturdy, athletic build. The overall texture is dark and emphatic, with consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and sports or fitness branding. It can work well on packaging and digital banners where a bold, kinetic voice is needed, but the dense weight and tight counters make it less ideal for long paragraphs or small UI text.
The tone feels energetic and sporty, combining bold confidence with a friendly, rounded warmth. Its strong slant adds motion and urgency, suggesting speed, action, and headline impact rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of motion: a bold, slanted sans optimized for display settings where immediacy and confidence matter. Rounded geometry and uniform stroke weight keep the look approachable while maintaining a strong, high-contrast presence against the page.
The lowercase shows simplified, robust shapes and short extenders relative to the overall weight, reinforcing a compact, poster-ready silhouette. Numerals are similarly blocky and rounded, matching the alphabet’s heavy color and forward-leaning stance.
