A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad proportions and rounded, slightly squared terminals. Strokes are thick and steady with subtly eased corners, giving curves a smooth, molded feel rather than a sharp, geometric cut. Counters are relatively compact in letters like a, e, and g, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) feel sturdy and blocky. The overall rhythm is tightly packed and energetic, with bold punctuation-like joins and a forward-driving slant.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, poster titles, brand marks, sports and entertainment graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short bursts of UI or social graphics, but its dense weight and slant make it less ideal for extended reading at small sizes.
The tone is assertive and high-energy, with a sporty, action-oriented character. Its softened corners and buoyant curves keep it from feeling aggressive, leaning instead toward friendly confidence and playful emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a forward-leaning, energetic stance while staying approachable through rounded terminals and smooth, compact counters. It prioritizes punch and momentum over quiet neutrality, aiming for clear, bold communication in attention-driven layouts.
Uppercase shapes read as strong and poster-like, while the lowercase maintains a single-storey look in key letters (notably a and g) that reinforces an informal, contemporary voice. Numerals are bold and attention-grabbing, with simple silhouettes designed to hold up at large sizes.
