A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded, superellipse-like bowls and softly blunted terminals. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with broad curves and compact counters that create a dense, solid texture. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the overall drawing favors wide, rounded interior shapes (notably in O, Q, e, and 8) paired with sharp-looking diagonal joins in letters like K, V, W, and X. Numerals are bold and tightly built, matching the letterforms’ squat, high-impact silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports and team-style branding, promotional graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI or signage labels when a forceful, energetic voice is desired, especially at larger sizes.
The tone is loud and kinetic, combining athletic urgency with a friendly, approachable softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than refined, with a slightly playful, poster-like exuberance in larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a streamlined, rounded-rectangle construction—combining the speed and emphasis of an italic with a soft, contemporary geometry. It aims to stay bold and readable while projecting motion and modernity.
Letterforms show a deliberate mix of smooth superelliptic curves and crisp diagonal cuts, which helps maintain clarity in slanted shapes while keeping the overall color very dark. The sample text demonstrates strong headline presence, though the weight and tight counters suggest it will feel most comfortable when given generous size and spacing.
