A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and strongly rounded corners that soften its otherwise blocky construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, high-impact letterforms. Counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, giving the set a solid, unified texture. The design maintains a steady rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures, with simple, geometric curves and crisp terminals that stay clean even at large sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications such as headlines, poster typography, sports and team branding, product packaging, and bold signage. It also works well for punchy labels, badges, and UI moments where a compact, assertive voice is needed, but it can become visually heavy for extended reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels energetic and forceful, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and motion. Its chunky shapes and compressed feel evoke a utilitarian, no-nonsense voice with a distinctly retro advertising and sports-signage flavor. It reads as bold, confident, and attention-seeking rather than delicate or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a compact footprint, combining rounded geometry and thick strokes with a slanted posture for added momentum. It prioritizes immediacy and uniform texture for bold display communication.
Figures are similarly weighty and rounded, matching the alphabet’s compact, solid look and keeping emphasis consistent in mixed alphanumeric settings. The sample text shows a strong, even color across lines, though the tight counters and heavy joins can make long passages feel dense.
