A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, softly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing compact internal counters and a dense, high-impact texture. Terminals are clean and largely blunt, while joins and bowls stay smooth and geometric, giving the letterforms a sturdy, inflated feel. Numerals match the alphabet’s weight and width, with clear, simplified shapes built for bold display.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, poster typography, logo wordmarks, and bold packaging statements. It also fits sports and lifestyle branding where a fast, forward-leaning emphasis is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining athletic energy with approachable, rounded geometry. Its strong blackness reads confident and attention-seeking, while the softened curves keep it from feeling harsh or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed and friendliness, using heavy, rounded forms and a strong slant to create motion and immediacy in display settings.
The oblique angle is pronounced enough to add motion, and the wide set creates a strong horizontal rhythm. At smaller sizes the tight apertures and counters may close up, but at larger sizes the shapes remain punchy and cohesive.
