A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction in the curves. Strokes are thick and confident with slightly softened corners, producing smooth, superellipse-like bowls and counters. Terminals are mostly blunt, and the overall rhythm is compact and strongly forward-leaning, with sturdy verticals and wide, stable forms. Numerals and capitals are especially chunky and uniform, emphasizing mass and impact over fine detail.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where the thick, slanted forms can create momentum and grab attention. It works well for sports and entertainment identities, event graphics, packaging callouts, and large-format signage. For longer text, it’s most effective in short phrases or display-sized settings.
The face communicates speed and force, with a sporty, poster-forward attitude. Its thick silhouettes and rounded geometry feel contemporary but also recall retro athletic and arcade display lettering. Overall it reads assertive, energetic, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended as an impact-focused display sans that combines a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectangle geometry for a fast, modern look. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and clear, simple construction to stay legible while delivering a high-energy tone.
Counters remain fairly open for such a heavy style, helping letters like a/e/p/g stay distinguishable in short bursts. The slant is consistent across the alphabet, and the rounded geometry keeps the weight from feeling overly harsh, making it suited to large, high-contrast uses where impact is the priority.
