A heavy, oblique sans with a distinctly rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and even with softly blunted terminals, producing a smooth, cushiony silhouette rather than sharp corners. Counters are relatively small and tightly drawn, giving the letters a dense, punchy color, while bowls and curves (O, C, G, e) follow superelliptical arcs. Uppercase proportions feel broad and stable, and the lowercase keeps a clear, straightforward skeleton with single-storey a and g; numerals are similarly chunky and streamlined.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as headlines, sports and team-style branding, posters, and promotional graphics where a strong, fast visual voice is needed. It can also work for packaging and bold signage, especially when a rounded, modern look is preferred over hard-edged industrial forms.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, with an athletic, forward-leaning feel. Its rounded geometry adds approachability and a slightly playful edge, balancing the weighty impact with friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and motion through a pronounced oblique stance and thick, rounded construction. By using superelliptical curves and softened corners, it aims to stay friendly and contemporary while still reading as forceful and attention-grabbing.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the rounded corners help maintain clarity at large sizes while keeping the texture compact. The design emphasizes mass and momentum over delicate detailing, with strong silhouettes that read quickly in short bursts.
