A heavy, oblique sans with wide proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. The strokes are thick and fairly even, with softened corners and flattened curves that give round letters a superelliptical feel. Counters are compact and slightly squared, apertures are tight, and terminals tend to be blunt, producing a dense, high-ink silhouette. The italic slant is strong and consistent, with sturdy diagonals and a forward-leaning rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-scale messaging where strong presence and momentum are desired. It also fits sports branding, bold packaging callouts, and logo or wordmark exploration that benefits from wide, rounded, oblique forms.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, combining a sporty forward motion with a slightly retro, display-first attitude. Its chunky shapes and tight counters read as confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or understated.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward slant and rounded-block geometry, balancing friendliness in the softened corners with a dense, muscular color on the page.
The numerals follow the same wide, rounded-block logic, staying bold and highly visible. At larger sizes the smooth rounding and flattened curves become a key part of the character; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense forms may require generous spacing and line height to maintain clarity.
