A heavy, oblique sans with compact, block-like silhouettes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls. Strokes stay thick and consistent, with clean, largely closed apertures and minimal internal detailing, giving the letters a dense, poster-ready color. Curves are strongly softened at the corners while straight segments remain firm, producing a squared-yet-rounded geometry across both caps and lowercase. The lowercase shows a sturdy, punchy rhythm with short extenders and simplified terminals; figures follow the same chunky, rounded structure for uniform texture in strings of numerals.
Best suited to display work where impact matters most: posters, sports or activewear branding, punchy headlines, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short signage and title treatments where the rounded-rect geometry adds a modern, approachable edge.
The overall tone is forceful and sporty, with a confident, forward-leaning stance that reads as fast and dynamic. Its rounded squareness keeps the voice friendly enough to avoid harshness, but the weight and tight counters make it feel bold, loud, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a slanted, athletic voice, combining squared construction with softened corners for a contemporary, friendly take on a high-impact display sans.
The oblique slant is strong enough to read as a deliberate stylistic choice rather than a subtle italic, emphasizing motion. In text, the dense counters and closed apertures can reduce clarity at small sizes, while at large sizes they create a solid, graphic presence.
