A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and squarish curves that read like superellipses rather than true circles. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be narrowed, creating dense, poster-like silhouettes. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm is forward-leaning with a strong, uniform color on the page.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, sports or esports branding, and energetic promotional materials. It can also work for bold packaging callouts and logo wordmarks where a rounded, forward-leaning presence is desired. Because the counters are tight and the texture is dense, it performs most clearly at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and kinetic, with a sporty, action-oriented feel. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly rather than aggressive, while the pronounced slant adds urgency and motion. Overall it suggests high-impact messaging—more headline than body text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed, using rounded-rectangle curves and blunt terminals to keep the forms strong, cohesive, and highly legible in display contexts.
Uppercase forms feel especially blocky and stable, while lowercase retains the same chunky construction with minimal delicacy. Numerals match the letterforms in width and weight, and the overall set is optimized for quick recognition at large sizes.
