A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded shapes and tightly controlled counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, with smooth curve construction on bowls and numerals and crisp, slightly angled terminals that reinforce the slant. The uppercase reads compact and sturdy, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey feel with generous curves and minimal detailing. Overall spacing and sidebearings appear geared toward dense, impactful setting rather than airy text color.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, sports and team branding, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for logos and wordmarks that need a strong, forward-leaning silhouette, and for large-format signage where weight and simplicity aid quick recognition.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, headline-driven presence. Its rounded geometry keeps the weight from feeling harsh, giving it a friendly but forceful voice that suggests momentum and confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, dynamic slant and robust, rounded construction. It prioritizes bold presence and clear silhouettes in display settings, aiming for a contemporary, athletic feel with approachable curves.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create forward motion without becoming script-like. Circular letters (O, C, G, 0) feel slightly squashed into sturdy ovals, which helps maintain visual mass and consistency at large sizes. Numerals are bold and simplified, matching the letterforms’ compact, display-oriented rhythm.
