A very heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded construction. Strokes are thick and even, with softened joins and terminals that keep the forms friendly despite the mass. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s, and the overall rhythm is dense and punchy, with a strong rightward slant and a stable, consistent skeleton across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports branding, packaging callouts, and social or display graphics where the slant adds motion. It can also work for large-size signage or UI banners, but the tight counters and heavy color make it less appropriate for long reading at small sizes.
The tone is bold and extroverted, combining sporty momentum with a slightly playful, cartoon-adjacent softness. It reads as confident and loud, designed to grab attention quickly while staying approachable rather than severe.
The design intention appears to be an attention-first display sans: heavy, rounded, and forward-leaning to communicate speed and confidence. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent weight for maximum presence in branding and promotional typography.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and blocky with rounded corners, while the lowercase shows single-storey a and g and generally compact apertures that reinforce the heavyweight texture. Numerals are equally robust and simplified, suited to high-impact settings where clarity is driven by silhouette more than fine interior detail.
