A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded geometry and compact counters. Strokes are thick and consistent with subtly softened joins, giving letters a dense, sculpted silhouette. Proportions favor strong width and large internal shapes where possible, while apertures often stay tight, producing a solid, poster-like color on the page. Terminals are mostly blunt, and curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and S) read as bold, elliptical forms that maintain a steady rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It also fits apparel graphics and social content where a compact, slanted voice signals motion and emphasis. For longer copy, it will be most comfortable with generous sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, action-forward feel created by the pronounced slant and massy letterforms. Its rounded construction keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, lending a slightly retro, display-driven character suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed and momentum, combining a strong slant with rounded, simplified forms to keep the tone approachable while remaining emphatic and highly visible.
At text sizes the dark texture and tight counters can make long passages feel dense, but this same density helps short phrases and headlines hold up under busy layouts. Figures match the letterforms’ weight and stance, reading as bold, rounded blocks that align well with uppercase-heavy settings.
