A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broad and compact, with mostly uniform weight and only subtle modulation, producing dense counters and sturdy silhouettes. Curves lean toward superellipse shapes (notably in O/C/G/0), while joins and terminals stay clean and blunt for a tightly controlled, contemporary rhythm. The overall spacing feels slightly compressed by the weight, giving text a bold, cohesive texture.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, and short emphatic copy where its mass and slant can do the work—sports branding, event posters, apparel marks, and energetic packaging. It can also serve in UI or signage for large labels and calls-to-action, but the dense counters and bold texture make it less ideal for extended small-size reading.
The font reads as assertive and kinetic, combining athletic urgency with a friendly softness from its rounded geometry. Its strong forward slant adds motion and immediacy, while the chunky forms keep it grounded and confident. The tone fits contemporary branding where impact and approachability need to coexist.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded industrial feel—pairing a forward-leaning stance with soft-cornered geometry to communicate speed, strength, and modernity without feeling harsh.
Uppercase forms are broad and blocky with simplified internal shapes, and the numerals match the same rounded, compact logic for consistent color in mixed settings. In longer lines the weight and slant create a strong diagonal flow, making it most comfortable when given generous size and breathing room.
