A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded geometry. Strokes are thick and uniform, with smooth, soft terminals and generously curved bowls that give counters a compact, punched-out look. The italics angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a forward-leaning rhythm. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with single-storey a and g, and overall spacing that reads dense and impactful in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where strong presence and speed cues are desirable. It can work well on packaging and sports-oriented or promotional graphics, especially when large sizes can preserve the tight counters and dense texture.
The tone is energetic and confident, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded forms. Its strong slant and weight suggest motion and immediacy, giving it a sporty, promotional feel rather than a quiet, editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a clear sense of motion, pairing bold, rounded construction with a consistent slant for energetic display typography.
Round letters like O, Q, and 8 show notably tight internal spaces relative to the stroke weight, reinforcing a bold, compact color on the page. Diagonal-heavy characters (K, R, X, Y, Z) emphasize the font’s dynamic, forward-driven stance, while the numerals keep the same chunky, rounded construction for visual consistency.
