A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, softened terminals. Curves are built from sturdy circular and elliptical forms, with large counters and generally closed apertures that keep the silhouettes compact and dense. The stroke weight feels uniform across curves and straights, producing a consistent, high-impact rhythm; diagonals and joins are robust, and the lowercase shows single-story forms where applicable (notably the g). Numerals match the letters’ weight and roundness, reading as chunky, display-oriented figures.
This font is best suited to headlines, posters, large-format messaging, and branding where quick impact matters. It can work well for sports and event graphics, packaging, and punchy UI highlights, especially when set with generous tracking or ample whitespace to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, forward-leaning attitude. Rounded details keep it approachable and friendly despite its strong mass, giving it a contemporary, poster-like confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a contemporary, rounded voice—pairing a strong oblique stance with compact, sturdy letterforms for attention-grabbing display typography.
At larger sizes the tight apertures and heavy joins create a solid, blocky texture that emphasizes silhouette over internal detail. The oblique slant is strong enough to feel intentional and dynamic, rather than a subtle incline.
