A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a compact interior rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with rounded corners and soft joins that keep the dense weight from feeling brittle. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to run small, giving letters a packed, punchy silhouette. Several shapes show subtle notch-like cut-ins at joins and terminals, adding a slightly engineered, display-oriented texture. Numerals and capitals carry the same robust, rounded geometry, with a strong forward slant that reinforces motion and emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and bold brand statements where strong silhouette and momentum matter. It can work well on packaging and athletic or entertainment visuals, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tight counters remain clear. For smaller UI or long-form reading, extra spacing and larger sizes will help maintain legibility.
The tone is energetic and confident, with a friendly, game-day loudness. Its rounded massing and forward lean feel sporty and upbeat, while the tight counters and strong silhouettes push it toward bold, attention-seeking messaging with a light retro flavor.
Likely designed as a high-impact display sans that blends rounded geometry with a forward-leaning stance for speed and immediacy. The tight counters and occasional notch-like detailing suggest an aim to stay distinctive and readable under heavy weight while keeping a friendly, contemporary feel.
In continuous text, the dense weight and small internal spaces create a dark overall color, so it reads best with generous tracking and leading. The oblique stance is consistent across cases and figures, producing a unified, dynamic line even at large sizes.
