A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, with smooth corners and blunt terminals that keep forms compact and strongly graphic. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and the type shows a slightly bouncy rhythm from letter to letter, with simplified, geometric curves in rounds like O/C/Q and a sturdy, built-up feel in verticals and diagonals. Numerals match the same robust, rounded geometry, maintaining a consistent, high-impact color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, short calls-to-action, posters, and branding where a strong, energetic presence is needed. It can work well for sports and event graphics, packaging fronts, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a chunky, rounded, forward-moving silhouette.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, reading as sporty and promotional with a friendly, approachable edge. Its chunky curves and forward slant give it motion and enthusiasm, while the smooth geometry keeps it modern and clean rather than rough or distressed.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a smooth, geometric friendliness—pairing a forward slant and heavy weight with rounded-rectangle forms to create motion and confidence in display settings.
The design leans into compact inner spaces at smaller sizes, but holds up strongly as a display face where its rounded geometry and dense blackness can read clearly. The italic angle and wide set combine to produce a bold, headline-first voice with a distinctly graphic silhouette.
