A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, superelliptical construction and compact internal counters. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with soft corners and squared-off curves that give bowls and terminals a sturdy, engineered feel. Proportions are tight and efficient, with short extenders and a tall lowercase body that keeps words dark and continuous at display sizes. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and dense, with simplified shapes and minimal detailing for maximum impact.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short, high-impact lines where the heavy slant and compact shapes can do the work. It fits sports and event branding, energetic packaging, and logo marks that benefit from dense color and rounded strength. For longer text, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font reads as assertive and high-energy, with a sporty, poster-like presence. Its rounded block forms keep the tone friendly rather than aggressive, while the slant adds speed and momentum. The result feels contemporary with a hint of retro athletic branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a rounded, modernized athletic style—combining forward motion from the oblique angle with sturdy, simplified forms that hold up in bold display settings.
Uppercase forms are compact and strongly sculpted, with rounded-rectangle bowls and sturdy diagonals; the lowercase maintains the same heavy, forward-leaning logic with tight joins. Numerals match the same compact, rounded geometry, staying highly legible in short bursts like scores or labels.
