A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and uniform, producing solid, compact counters and a strong, poster-like color on the page. The letterforms lean forward with a steady, engineered rhythm; curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls and superellipse-like shapes rather than true circles. Terminals are blunt and clean, with minimal flare, giving the design a sturdy, contemporary feel and clear silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited to short, bold messaging such as headlines, posters, apparel and sports branding, packaging callouts, and high-contrast signage. It performs well where immediate visual presence is needed and where the rounded, squared shapes can become part of a strong graphic system.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive while staying approachable due to the rounded shaping. It reads as sporty and modern, with a confident, “impact” voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines rather than quiet text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a forward-leaning stance and a softened, geometric build. Its rounded-square forms aim to balance strength and friendliness, creating a modern display sans that feels both athletic and accessible.
Uppercase forms appear broad and tightly built, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation through simple, blocky structures and generous weight. Numerals match the same rounded, squared geometry, keeping a cohesive texture across mixed alphanumeric strings.
