A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and compact internal spaces. Letterforms lean consistently with a forward-pressing stance, combining rounded-rectangle curves with flattened bowls and softly blunted terminals. Strokes stay robust and fairly even, while joins and corners are smoothed to keep the texture cohesive at large sizes. The uppercase reads blocky and stable; the lowercase keeps a tall x-height with tight apertures, producing dense, poster-ready word shapes.
Best suited to large-scale applications such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, bold packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing social graphics. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, labels) where density is acceptable, but extended reading at smaller sizes may feel heavy due to tight apertures and compact counters.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, headline-first attitude. Its rounded squareness adds a friendly, retro-leaning softness to an otherwise commanding presence, making it feel confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic, forward-leaning rhythm while keeping forms approachable through rounded-rectangle shaping. It prioritizes bold presence, quick recognition, and consistent alphanumeric color for display use.
Spacing appears intentionally tight for impact, and the counters in letters like a, e, s, and 8 remain small, which increases darkness in text settings. Numerals and capitals share the same rounded-squared logic, helping mixed alphanumerics look uniform. The strong slant amplifies motion and works best when the surrounding layout can accommodate the forward pull.
