A heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded forms and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, with soft curves contrasted by crisp, angled terminals and occasional wedge-like cuts. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, creating a dense, energetic texture. Overall spacing reads tight and impactful, with slightly varied character widths that add a lively rhythm in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, event graphics, packaging callouts, and merchandise marks. The dense color and slant help it stand out on the page, especially in large display sizes where its rounded geometry and angular terminals stay clear.
The font projects a high-energy, competitive tone—confident and a bit playful—like sports graphics or bold promotional signage. Its rounded shapes keep it friendly while the strong slant and chunky weight make it feel fast and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic forward motion, combining rounded, approachable letterforms with decisive angled cuts for a modern athletic feel. It prioritizes bold presence and rhythm in display typography over understated text neutrality.
Round letters such as O, C, and e are notably full and circular, while diagonals in V, W, X, and Z are emphasized by sharp joins and angled ends. Numerals are similarly robust and attention-grabbing, built to hold up visually at large sizes.
