A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, superelliptical construction and softly squared curves. Forms are compact with tight interior counters, sturdy strokes, and minimal modulation, creating a dense, high-impact silhouette. Terminals are mostly blunt and smooth, and several letters show slightly inflated bowls and angled joins that add a lively, uneven rhythm without breaking overall consistency.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and identity work where a bold, forward-moving voice is needed. It performs well in sports and lifestyle branding, packaging, posters, and promotional graphics, especially when set with generous tracking or ample whitespace to keep letterforms from visually merging.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a playful bounce that reads as sporty and slightly retro. Its forward lean and chunky shapes suggest motion and enthusiasm, making it feel friendly rather than severe despite the strong weight.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic slant and rounded, modern shapes that remain approachable. It aims for quick recognition and a strong graphic presence, prioritizing momentum and personality over delicate detail.
The slant is pronounced and consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping text feel fast and emphatic. Rounded corners and compact apertures keep the texture cohesive at display sizes, while the tightly packed counters can look more solid and inky as size decreases.
