A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and generously rounded curves. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous strokes with softened corners and large enclosed counters (notably in O, e, a), producing a compact, high-ink look. Terminals tend to be clean and slightly angled, and the overall construction favors simple geometry over calligraphic detail. Spacing reads steady and sturdy, with a consistent forward lean that keeps lines feeling in motion.
Best suited for display typography where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, product packaging, and sports or event graphics. It can work for short UI labels or buttons when strong emphasis is needed, but the dense weight makes it less appropriate for long-form text.
The tone is bold and energetic with a friendly, approachable softness from the rounded shapes. Its forward slant and chunky weight suggest motion and emphasis, giving it a sporty, promotional feel that can also read slightly retro in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a dynamic, forward-leaning stance while staying approachable through rounded geometry and simple, modern construction.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified, while the lowercase keeps single-storey, round constructions that reinforce the geometric character. Numerals are similarly robust and highly legible at display sizes, with a uniform, poster-ready presence.
