This typeface uses compact, rounded-rectangle letterforms with consistently softened corners and heavy, uniform strokes. The design is strongly slanted, producing a forward-leaning rhythm, with relatively tight internal counters and short apertures that keep shapes chunky and dense. Curves are built from superellipse-like geometry rather than true circles, giving O/C/G and numerals a squarish roundness. The lowercase is sturdy and utilitarian, with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a small dot on i/j; the overall spacing reads tight and efficient for impact.
Best suited to short, high-visibility settings such as headlines, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and sports or action-themed branding. It holds together well at large sizes where its dense counters and rounded geometry read as intentional design features rather than constraints.
The overall tone is bold and action-oriented, with a sporty, poster-ready attitude. Its rounded corners keep it friendly rather than harsh, while the pronounced slant and compressed stance add urgency and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact footprint, combining rounded superellipse construction with a strong forward slant to create a fast, contemporary voice for display typography.
Uppercase forms emphasize simple, geometric construction with broad joins and minimal detailing, and the numerals follow the same rounded, compact logic for a cohesive set. The forward slant is consistent across letters and figures, supporting a unified, high-impact texture in text lines.
