A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, rounded geometry and softened corners. Strokes are thick and steady with smooth curves, producing compact inner counters in letters like a, e, o, and g. The forms feel slightly compressed in their apertures while maintaining a forward-leaning rhythm; terminals are blunt and clean rather than tapered. Uppercase shapes are wide and punchy, while the lowercase keeps a large, sturdy core with simple, single-storey constructions and minimal detailing.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or team branding, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where strong silhouette and motion are desirable. It can also work for large-format signage or social media graphics, but is less appropriate for long-form text because of its dense counters and heavy texture.
The overall tone is loud, fast, and confident, with a display-first presence that reads as sporty and attention-grabbing. Its rounded massing adds a friendly, slightly playful edge, while the strong slant communicates motion and urgency.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a sense of speed and boldness, using rounded, simplified letterforms to keep the tone approachable while still projecting strength.
Numerals follow the same bulky, rounded construction and lean, giving sequences a cohesive, poster-like color. The dense counters and heavy joins make small sizes look tight, but at headline scales the shapes feel smooth and impactful.
