A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are broad and uniform, with softly squared counters and terminals that feel cut with simple, slightly angled endings rather than sharp points. The letterforms lean forward consistently, with tight interior spaces and sturdy joins that keep the silhouettes dense and blocky. Round letters like O, C, and G read as rounded rectangles, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay wide and blunt, maintaining a strong, poster-like color.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and punchy short copy where strong presence is needed. It works well for sports-leaning branding, apparel graphics, packaging, and promotional materials that benefit from a bold, kinetic voice. Use with generous size and spacing when longer text is required to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its chunky shapes and softened corners add a friendly, retro-leaning athletic feel, balancing toughness with approachability. It communicates impact and urgency more than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, rounded-rectangular forms and a consistent forward slant, producing a fast, modern-athletic impression. It prioritizes bold silhouette recognition and a unified, high-energy rhythm for display typography.
At display sizes the bold massing and rounded geometry create a strong, cohesive texture, but the small counters and tight apertures can close up quickly in dense settings. Numerals are similarly compact and weighty, matching the letterforms for consistent emphasis in headlines and callouts.
