A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, compact counters and broad, simplified curves. The letterforms lean consistently to the right and maintain sturdy, near-monoline construction, with minimal modulation and generous joins that read smooth rather than sharp. Proportions feel expansive in width, with squat, powerful silhouettes and tightly enclosed internal spaces (notably in B, e, a, and 8). Terminals are blunt and slightly softened, giving the shapes a chunky, cohesive rhythm that holds together well at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and prominent labels where strong presence and fast readability are priorities. It works well for sports or active-lifestyle branding, energetic campaigns, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage, especially when set large with tight, punchy spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, with a kinetic slant that suggests speed and momentum. Its chunky rounding keeps the mood friendly and approachable rather than aggressive, making it feel sporty and modern with a hint of retro advertising energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a sense of motion, pairing a consistent oblique angle with rounded, simplified geometry for a bold, approachable display voice.
Round letters like O and Q are slightly ovalized and strongly weighted, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay broad and stable, reinforcing the font’s sturdy stance. Numerals are bold and compact, with the 0 reading as a solid oval and the 1 showing a simple, blocky construction suited to large-scale use.
