A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters. Strokes are broadly uniform, with softened corners and flat terminals that keep the silhouette clean and blocky. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S feel superelliptical rather than purely circular, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and crisp. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (a, g) and a robust, wide-shouldered rhythm, with tight apertures and generous internal counters that stay open at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, labels, and packaging callouts. The strong fill and compact shapes make it effective for sports and lifestyle graphics, event promotions, and bold UI accents where quick recognition matters more than long-form reading.
The overall tone is bold and forward-leaning, projecting speed and confidence. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly and approachable, balancing the aggressive weight with a contemporary, slightly playful feel. The combination reads as energetic and promotional—designed to grab attention quickly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward motion while staying approachable through rounded, superelliptical curves. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, consistent slant, and clean terminals to work reliably in attention-grabbing display settings.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a unified directional flow. Round characters maintain a stable, almost “inflated” presence, and the dense color on the page makes spacing and counters the primary drivers of legibility. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic, matching the letterforms for cohesive headline use.
