A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with low apparent contrast and generous corner rounding that gives letters a molded, superelliptical feel. Counters are relatively compact and openings are kept tight, creating a dense, punchy texture in text. The italics are built into the forms rather than added as a simple slant, with angled terminals and a forward-leaning rhythm that emphasizes motion and impact.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing UI moments (such as splash screens or banners). Its dense weight and compact counters favor larger sizes where the rounded details and oblique rhythm can read clearly.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, combining athletic assertiveness with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as modern-retro and action-oriented, suited to upbeat, confident messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, kinetic sans voice built from superelliptical forms—prioritizing immediacy, friendliness, and a strong silhouette for branding and display typography.
The numerals follow the same rounded, compact logic as the letters, keeping a consistent weight and curvature that holds together well at display sizes. The forward lean and tight inner spaces increase urgency and presence, but also make the face feel more expressive than purely utilitarian.
