A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded outer contours. The strokes are thick and uniform, with compact counters and generous corner radii that keep the shapes friendly despite the weight. Letters lean as a cohesive system, combining wide bowls and sturdy verticals with slightly cropped-looking terminals that reinforce a solid, blocky silhouette. Numerals and capitals read especially bold and poster-like, maintaining consistent rhythm and color across lines.
Best suited to headlines, display settings, and bold callouts where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable. It works well for sports and fitness branding, event posters, packaging fronts, and promotional layouts where the slanted stance can imply speed and urgency. For longer copy, larger sizes and increased letterspacing help preserve legibility.
The overall tone is loud, athletic, and attention-seeking, with a forward-leaning momentum that feels active and promotional. Its rounded mass and tight interior spaces give it a bold, contemporary punch while still nodding to retro sign and sports branding aesthetics.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a friendly, rounded display sans, combining a strong forward slant with wide, sturdy forms to create energetic, brand-ready typography for high-visibility applications.
At text sizes the dense stroke and tight counters can reduce internal clarity, so it benefits from ample tracking and breathing room. The slant is pronounced enough to read as dynamic even in short words, and the wide set makes headlines feel expansive and commanding.
