A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a distinctly rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and smooth with softened corners and flattened curves, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals tend to be blunt and rounded, and the overall rhythm is compact, with tight internal spaces and sturdy joins that hold up well at large sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same wide stance and strong slant, producing an assertive, cohesive texture in lines of text.
This font performs best in high-impact display roles such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for signage and promotional graphics where speed and emphasis are desirable, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded geometry reads clearly.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, action-oriented feel driven by the strong slant and blocky mass. Rounded corners keep it friendly and approachable, while the wide, heavy silhouettes give it a loud, attention-grabbing presence. The overall impression leans retro-modern—suggesting speed, impact, and bold branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-rectilinear geometry and a consistent oblique push. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition, using softened corners to balance aggression with approachability for contemporary branding and energetic display typography.
In paragraph-like settings the dense weight and narrowed counters create a dark, poster-like color, making it best suited to short bursts of text rather than long reading. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping headlines feel unified and forward-moving.
