A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, softly squared geometry. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, producing compact internal counters and a dense, high-impact color on the page. Curves are full and smooth (notably in C, O, S, and 8), while terminals are clean and blunt, keeping the overall silhouette crisp despite the mass. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with sturdy joins and simplified shapes that prioritize clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-visibility copy such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and sports or event graphics. The dense weight and slant help it stand out in large sizes and in motion-oriented layouts, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable in promotional and consumer-facing contexts.
The tone feels energetic and punchy, combining a sporty forward-lean with friendly rounded forms. Its bold, compact counters and smooth curves give it a contemporary poster presence with a subtle retro, varsity-like confidence.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning, energetic stance while retaining a friendly, rounded voice. The simplified, low-detail shapes and compact counters suggest an emphasis on bold display performance and strong silhouette recognition.
The numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded construction as the letters, reading well as a cohesive set in headlines. Spacing appears intentionally tight and efficient, reinforcing the condensed, impactful rhythm in continuous text.
