A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, soft-cornered geometry. Strokes are thick and even, with simplified terminals and generous curves that keep the forms smooth despite the mass. Counters tend to be compact and the joins are sturdy, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words. The overall rhythm is steady and uniform, prioritizing bold silhouettes over fine detail.
Best suited for display settings where impact and immediacy matter—headlines, logos, posters, packaging, and bold UI moments such as banners or hero text. The dense weight and oblique angle make it particularly effective for energetic branding and sports-leaning graphics, while the rounded construction helps it remain friendly in short bursts of copy.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, promotional feel. Its slanted stance adds forward motion, while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable rather than severe. Overall it reads as modern, loud, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a fast, forward-leaning stance, using rounded geometry and simplified construction to stay clean and legible at large sizes. It emphasizes strong silhouettes and a cohesive, modern rhythm for branding-forward typography.
Uppercase forms present as blocky and stable, while lowercase maintains simple, rounded construction; the dot on the i/j is prominent and circular, reinforcing the geometric voice. Numerals share the same thick, smooth treatment, with open, readable shapes designed to hold up at display sizes.
