A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners that keep the silhouettes friendly despite the mass. Strokes are broad and fairly even, with subtle shaping in joins and terminals that prevents the forms from feeling purely geometric. Counters tend to be tight and apertures are partially closed in several letters, creating dense, poster-like color. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and compact, with sturdy verticals and wide, stable bowls that read clearly at large sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional messaging. It can also work for logos and wordmarks when a fast, assertive voice is desired, but the dense counters suggest avoiding long text at small sizes.
The tone is bold and kinetic, with a sporty, headline-driven attitude. Rounded geometry adds approachability, while the strong slant and compact counters push it toward action, speed, and impact.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a forward-leaning, athletic stance, combining soft-cornered superelliptical shapes with a compact, high-density texture for confident display typography.
Digit forms are chunky and simplified, matching the letterforms’ closed counters and rounded rectangular logic. The lowercase shows a single-storey feel where applicable and maintains a consistent, sturdy texture across words, making the font look intentionally loud rather than delicate.
