A very heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, soft-cornered construction and largely monoline strokes. Forms are compact with generous curves and relatively tight internal counters, giving letters a dense, high-impact silhouette. The italic is built into the design rather than being a simple oblique, with consistently angled terminals and a forward-driving rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals share the same chunky, rounded geometry and keep a steady baseline presence in text.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and brand moments where bold emphasis is needed—such as sports identity, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and large-format signage. It can work in brief subheads, but the dense counters and strong slant favor display sizes over extended reading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, poster-like presence. Its soft rounding keeps the weight from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, approachable character while still reading as loud and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, rounded, forward-leaning voice. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent slanted rhythm to create fast, energetic typography that stays approachable despite its weight.
The slant and strong weight create pronounced word-shape momentum, especially in mixed-case settings. Round letters (O, C, G, e) emphasize smooth curves, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, y) feel sturdy and blocky rather than sharp.
