A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and generously rounded corners. Strokes are thick and consistent with minimal modulation, creating dense, compact counters and sturdy silhouettes. Terminals are softly finished and the curves feel slightly squashed rather than perfectly circular, giving the letters a muscular, streamlined rhythm. Lowercase forms are simplified and bold, with single-storey shapes and tight apertures that emphasize impact over delicacy.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, event and sports branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks where a bold, dynamic voice is needed. It can work for short bursts of emphasis in UI or editorial layouts, but the dense counters and oblique angle make it more effective at larger sizes than in extended body text.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, forward-leaning stance. Its rounded shaping keeps the weight from feeling harsh, adding an approachable, friendly character while still reading as confident and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, athletic slant while maintaining a friendly feel through rounded geometry. It prioritizes bold presence and clear silhouettes for branding and promotional typography.
In text, the strong slant and dark color produce a continuous, fast-moving texture that works best with ample tracking and comfortable line spacing. The numerals match the letters’ chunky geometry, supporting prominent, high-contrast calls to action and short numeric strings.
