A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broad, compact counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing a solid, poster-like color, while corners and terminals are softened into superellipse curves rather than sharp points. The design emphasizes width and mass with sturdy bowls and apertures, and a distinctly slanted stance that keeps lines feeling in motion. Numerals match the letterforms’ squat, weighty proportions and maintain the same smooth, blocky curvature.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent brand moments where a bold, slanted voice is desirable. It works well for sports branding, energetic campaigns, and packaging that benefits from a dense, high-impact typographic block. For longer text, it will perform better in short bursts—subheads, callouts, and big typographic emphasis—rather than sustained reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a competitive, sports-adjacent feel. Its rounded geometry keeps the impact friendly rather than aggressive, but the dense weight and slant still read as fast and urgent. It conveys confidence, momentum, and a contemporary, performance-oriented attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-rect geometry and an italicized, motion-forward rhythm. It prioritizes strong silhouette and fast recognition, aiming for an athletic, contemporary display voice that stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the large footprint of each glyph creates strong word shapes, especially in all-caps. The rounded corners and compact interior spaces favor larger sizes, where the smooth superellipse detailing is most evident and the slanted rhythm reads cleanly.
