A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, superellipse-like contours and broadly uniform stroke weight. Curves are generous and corners are softened, giving letters a chunky, molded look rather than a sharp geometric one. Counters tend to be tight and apertures relatively closed, while spacing is compact to moderate, creating a dense, high-impact texture. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with sturdy, simplified forms and short extenders; the figures are wide, weighty, and visually stable, matching the overall bulk of the alphabet.
Best suited for large-scale typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports graphics, event promotions, and bold branding. It can work well on packaging and apparel marks where thick, rounded letterforms hold up in print and screen. For longer text, it’s more appropriate for short bursts such as callouts, labels, and subheads.
The overall tone is assertive and athletic, with a forward-leaning momentum that reads as energetic and competitive. Its rounded mass and compact rhythm add a friendly, approachable edge, while the strong black shapes keep it loud and attention-grabbing. The style also carries a subtle retro display flavor, reminiscent of classic sports and headline typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a fast, forward-leaning stance, combining rounded geometry with heavy strokes for a durable, modern display voice. It emphasizes strong silhouettes and compact word shapes for attention and immediacy in branding and promotional contexts.
Diagonal terminals and the consistent slant create a strong directional flow across words, especially in all-caps settings. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and dense weight may reduce clarity, but at display sizes it produces a bold, cohesive silhouette.
