A heavy, wide sans with rounded rectangular curves and strongly blunted terminals. Strokes are broad and consistent, with generous horizontal proportions and tight internal counters that keep letters compact and punchy. Curves are built from smooth, even arcs (notably in C, G, O, S), while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are thick and stable, giving the design a solid, blocklike rhythm. The lowercase is similarly weighty with a tall, prominent body and simple, sturdy constructions; joins and shoulders are smooth and simplified rather than calligraphic.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and bold branding where strong presence is needed. It can work well for sports-themed graphics, packaging fronts, and short signage copy, especially when set with comfortable spacing to keep counters from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, with a friendly softness from the rounded shapes. It reads as energetic and attention-seeking, evoking classic display lettering associated with sports, signage, and retro advertising where impact matters more than delicacy.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded industrial feel—prioritizing bold silhouettes, wide stance, and simplified forms for immediate recognition in large-scale typography.
The numerals are large and assertive, matching the letterforms with rounded geometry and compact apertures. The design favors broad silhouettes and simplified details, which helps maintain visual consistency at large sizes and in tightly set headlines.
