A heavy, forward-slanted sans with wide proportions and a superellipse-like construction. Strokes are solid and confident, with softened corners and rounded rectangular curves in bowls and counters, giving it a blocky-yet-smooth silhouette. The shapes show subtle cut-ins at joins and terminals that read like small ink-trap-like notches, helping preserve interior space in dense forms. Letterfit is visually tight and the overall rhythm is chunky and even, with an especially high lowercase x-height and short extenders for a compact vertical profile.
Best suited to large-scale display use where its heavy, slanted forms can communicate speed and impact—headlines, posters, branding marks, sports and event graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when a strong, friendly presence is desired, but the dense weight and tight counters favor shorter passages over long reading.
The combination of strong mass, rounded geometry, and a pronounced slant produces a fast, energetic tone. It feels assertive and sporty, with a slightly retro display flavor that suits attention-grabbing messaging more than quiet text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a smooth, modernized geometric feel—pairing wide, rounded construction with a forward lean for motion and emphasis. The small join cut-ins suggest an intention to keep counters and joins from clogging in very bold settings while retaining a cohesive, blocky texture.
Uppercase forms lean toward squared rounds (notably in C, D, O, Q) while lowercase maintains stout, single-storey construction where applicable, keeping the texture bold and continuous. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly wide bodies and rounded corners, maintaining consistent color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
