A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened, bowls are squarish, and curves transition quickly into straighter segments, creating a superelliptical feel. Terminals are blunt and squared-off rather than tapered, and joins are sturdy with minimal delicacy. Spacing reads on the tight side and the overall rhythm is dense, producing a strong, poster-like texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and team branding, packaging, and large-format signage. It can also work for punchy subheads or callouts where a compact, energetic texture is desirable; for long reading, its density and weight suggest using larger sizes and ample leading.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, action-forward character. Its forward slant and blocky massing suggest speed and impact, while the rounded corners keep it friendly enough to avoid looking harsh. The overall impression leans toward retro athletic and bold commercial display.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance, combining squared, rounded forms for a modernized athletic look. It prioritizes bold presence and clarity in display contexts, aiming for a confident, branded feel rather than typographic delicacy.
Lowercase is constructed with simple, robust shapes and short extenders, keeping word shapes compact. Numerals follow the same rounded-block logic, staying highly legible at display sizes with generous stroke mass and minimal fine detail.
