A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and broad, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms emphasize rounded geometry with soft corners and slightly squarish curves, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, while terminals are clean and blunt rather than calligraphic. Overall spacing reads sturdy and even, with a consistent right-leaning rhythm that keeps words moving forward.
Best suited to display applications where impact and speed are desirable: headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short UI or editorial accents when a strong, energetic emphasis is needed.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a friendly, slightly retro athletic feel. Its hefty presence and forward slant convey motion and confidence, making the voice feel upbeat rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed, forward-leaning silhouette—combining rounded sans construction with a dynamic stance for attention-grabbing display typography.
The numerals share the same chunky, compact construction and maintain strong presence at display sizes. In text settings the bold mass can tighten perceived word shapes, so it visually favors short lines and prominent messaging over extended reading.
