A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals are softened rather than sharply cut, giving counters a superelliptical feel. Curves (O, C, G) read as squarish rounds, while diagonals and joins are chunky and tightly spaced, creating dense internal shapes at text sizes. The figures match the letterforms in weight and stance, with stout, simplified forms designed to stay solid under impact.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, apparel graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for emphatic subheads and display-driven UI moments where momentum and presence matter more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, with a bold, athletic voice that feels confident and attention-seeking. Its softened geometry keeps it friendly despite the mass, landing in a space that can feel both sporty and slightly retro. The italic stance adds urgency and motion, making the texture feel active rather than static.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, geometric voice, pairing a dynamic slant with rounded-rectangular forms for a modern athletic feel. It prioritizes bold silhouette clarity and consistent rhythm to read quickly and project energy in display contexts.
The design favors strong silhouettes and tight apertures, producing a dark, continuous typographic color in paragraphs. Round letters remain squarish and compact, and the slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping headlines feel cohesive and directional.
