A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact counters and a strong, continuous texture in lines of text. Terminals tend to be squared-off yet radiused, and curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls rather than perfect circles, giving letters a muscular, engineered feel. The proportions favor a tall lowercase with short ascenders/descenders relative to the body, while capitals are wide and sturdy with simplified interior shapes for impact.
Works best for short, high-impact typography such as sports identities, team or event graphics, posters, and bold promotional headlines. It can also support logo wordmarks and packaging where a compact, energetic voice is needed, especially in larger sizes where the rounded rectangular details read clearly.
The overall tone is fast, loud, and performance-oriented, with an italic slant that reads as motion and urgency. Its chunky geometry and rounded corners add a friendly, game-like confidence, balancing aggression with approachability. The result feels suited to bold statements and attention-grabbing messaging rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a sense of speed, using a pronounced slant and rounded-rect geometry to keep forms sturdy and contemporary. It prioritizes bold readability and a cohesive, athletic texture over delicate detail.
The strong fill and tight apertures create a poster-like presence, but also mean fine spacing and small sizes may look crowded. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded logic and hold consistent weight, supporting cohesive headline settings.
