A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent forward slant and compact proportions. Strokes are thick and even, with low contrast and smoothly curved joins that keep counters open despite the weight. Terminals and corners read as softened rather than sharp, giving the shapes a slightly inflated, blocky feel. The overall rhythm is assertive and tightly set, with sturdy numerals and broad, simplified letterforms that hold together well at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where impact and motion are desired. It works well for sports branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and bold UI/marketing moments that need quick readability and strong emphasis.
The tone is bold and upbeat, combining athletic urgency with a friendly softness. Its slant and dense weight create a sense of motion and emphasis, while the rounded shapes prevent it from feeling harsh or overly technical. It feels contemporary and attention-seeking without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a modern, approachable voice. By pairing very heavy strokes with rounded construction and a built-in slant, it aims to feel fast, confident, and readable in display-driven typography.
Uppercase forms are wide and stable with generous curves, while lowercase stays compact and sturdy, maintaining clear silhouettes under heavy weight. The figures match the letters in mass and presence, making mixed text and numerals feel cohesive in display settings.
