A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and broadly rounded curves. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with softened corners and slightly squared terminals that keep forms sturdy rather than delicate. Round letters like O and Q are near-circular but slightly compressed, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are wide and weighty, creating a strong forward rhythm. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and spacing is tight but consistent, producing an assertive, blocky texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for brief UI labels or calls-to-action where emphasis and immediacy matter more than long-form comfort.
The overall tone is energetic and upbeat, with a sporty, contemporary feel. Its slanted stance and chunky construction read as confident and informal, suited to messaging that should feel active, approachable, and loud.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—combining a strong, compact build with an oblique angle to communicate motion and urgency while staying approachable.
Figures are stout and simplified, matching the letterforms’ heavy geometry and maintaining strong presence at large sizes. The uppercase set feels particularly punchy and compact, while the lowercase stays readable through open apertures and clear silhouettes despite the dense weight.
