A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and strongly rounded outer curves. The shapes are built from broad, low-contrast strokes with soft corners and clean terminals, giving letters a sturdy, “cut-from-solid” feel. Counters are relatively tight and often teardrop-like (notably in C, G, S, and e), while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y create a brisk forward rhythm. Numerals echo the same chunky construction, with a distinctive, slanted ‘1’ and a full, rounded ‘0’ that matches the letters’ weight and curvature.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or team-oriented branding, and promotional graphics where bold texture is an advantage. It can also work on packaging and signage when generous size and spacing are available to keep counters from closing up.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, with a slightly retro, athletic flavor. Its forward slant and compact, rounded massing read as assertive and friendly rather than formal, making it feel lively and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded sans voice, using an oblique stance and compact, dense letterforms to project speed, strength, and immediacy.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping lines of text hold a cohesive forward motion. Round letters stay smooth and controlled, while the tighter apertures and dense color can make long passages feel visually heavy at smaller sizes.
