A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, producing dense black shapes with small counters and tight internal apertures. The letterforms have a squat, forward-leaning stance and a wide footprint, with short extenders and a large lowercase presence that keeps lines visually full. Curves (C, G, S, O) feel superelliptical rather than purely circular, and diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) are broad and blunt at the terminals, reinforcing a solid, blocky rhythm.
Best suited for attention-led typography such as headlines, poster titles, sports and team-style branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short, high-impact UI or promotional copy where a strong, slanted display voice is desired, rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, with a lively forward motion from the slant and a friendly feel from the rounded geometry. It reads as sporty and somewhat retro, like display lettering meant to grab attention quickly. The dense weight and compact counters add a punchy, assertive voice that still stays approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a cohesive rounded-rectangle skeleton, combining a forward-leaning stance with thick, simplified forms for fast recognition. Its proportions and dense color suggest a focus on display use, where bold rhythm and friendly curvature carry the style.
In text settings the heavy mass and narrow counters make it best at larger sizes, where the rounded construction and strong shapes are clearest. Numerals match the same chunky, forward-leaning style, with simplified forms that prioritize impact over fine detail.
