A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, inflated forms and softly blunted terminals. Strokes are broadly even, creating a dense silhouette with compact interior counters, especially in letters like a, e, s, and g. Proportions read expanded with sturdy verticals and short, strong joins; diagonals (V, W, X, Y, k) are thick and stable rather than sharp. Numerals echo the same blocky roundness, with bold bowls and simplified apertures that emphasize impact over fine detail.
Best suited for headlines, short callouts, and display settings where a strong, kinetic presence is desired. It works well for sports and lifestyle branding, promotional graphics, packaging fronts, and bold UI/banner moments where quick recognition matters more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is loud and athletic, with a poster-like immediacy and a playful softness from the rounded construction. Its pronounced slant and weight convey motion and confidence, making it feel energetic rather than formal. The look leans contemporary and approachable, suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended as an impact-first display sans: maximize presence with thick, rounded shapes while using a consistent slant to suggest speed and forward motion. It prioritizes a cohesive, brandable silhouette across letters and numerals, aiming for energetic messaging and high visual punch.
At text sizes the tight counters and small apertures can darken lines quickly, so it benefits from generous tracking and leading when used in longer phrases. The rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving headings a unified, high-impact texture.
