A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, smoothly modeled counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, poster-like color and strong silhouette. Terminals are generally blunt and slightly softened, while curves are full and circular, especially in bowls and numerals. Spacing appears tight in display settings, and the overall rhythm leans forward with an energetic, compressed feel in the interior shapes.
Best suited to large-scale typography where impact matters, such as headlines, posters, sports or esports branding, event graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for short subheads and emphatic UI labels when space allows, but its dense weight and tight display color make it less ideal for long reading text.
The font reads loud and energetic, with a forward-leaning, action-oriented tone. Its rounded forms keep the weight from feeling harsh, giving it a friendly, high-impact voice suited to attention-grabbing messages. The overall impression is modern, sporty, and confident.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, energetic slant while keeping forms approachable through rounded geometry. The emphasis appears to be on bold readability at display sizes and a contemporary, sporty presence for branding and promotional typography.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and geometric, while lowercase maintains a prominent x-height that keeps words visually solid at large sizes. Numerals are bold and rounded with strong, simple shapes that match the letterforms. The italic slant is pronounced enough to add motion without introducing calligraphic character.
