A heavy, oblique sans with compact, superelliptical construction and broadly rounded corners. Strokes stay consistently thick with clean, clipped terminals, giving counters a squarish-rounded feel (especially in O, D, and the bowls of b/d/p). The lowercase shows a tall x-height and sturdy, simplified forms, while the uppercase remains wide-shouldered and blocky. Numerals are similarly robust and slightly condensed in feel, built from the same rounded-rectangle geometry for strong uniformity across the set.
Best suited to headlines, display copy, and branding where strong emphasis is needed—sports identities, energetic campaigns, product packaging, and attention-grabbing UI labels. It can work in short paragraphs at larger sizes, but its dense weight and compact counters make it most effective for titles and punchy messaging.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, forward-leaning cadence. Its chunky silhouettes and tight apertures convey confidence and impact, reading as contemporary and performance-oriented rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, geometric voice: a bold, italicized sans that reads quickly and signals motion. Its superelliptical rounding suggests a focus on modernity and friendliness while keeping a strong, muscular presence.
The slant is pronounced but controlled, and the shapes maintain a steady rhythm across letters, which helps in short bursts of text. Rounded joins and generous corner radii soften the mass, preventing the very heavy weight from feeling harsh.
