A heavy, oblique sans with compact, rounded forms and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Counters are generous for the weight, and curves stay clean and continuous, giving letters a sturdy, inflated silhouette. Terminals are mostly blunt and softly rounded rather than sharply cut, and the overall rhythm is tight and punchy, with strong diagonals and a consistent forward slant across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, bold packaging callouts, and punchy logotypes. It can also work for large UI labels or signage where an energetic, friendly emphasis is needed, but the weight and slant make it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is assertive and high-energy, with a friendly, game-day feel rather than a formal editorial voice. Its thick shapes and forward lean create motion and urgency, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable and modern.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a dynamic slant and rounded, sturdy letterforms that stay readable under heavy weight. It emphasizes momentum, friendliness, and strong silhouette recognition for display-driven typography.
Uppercase shapes read like a compact, athletic display style, while the lowercase remains similarly weighty and rounded, keeping color consistent in mixed-case settings. Numerals are wide and bold with clear silhouettes suited to quick recognition at a glance.
