A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are generally blunt with soft corner radii, giving many forms a compact, cushioned feel. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend toward closed, producing a dense, high-impact texture in both uppercase and lowercase. The italics are built into the forms rather than relying on delicate calligraphic detailing, keeping the overall color solid and consistent across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, and bold identity marks where the slant can communicate motion. It can also work for packaging callouts and promotional copy that benefits from a dense, assertive typographic color. For longer passages, generous sizing and spacing will help maintain clarity due to the compact counters.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, with a distinctly sporty, poster-forward attitude. Its rounded mass and built-in slant add friendliness and motion, while the dense black shapes project confidence and volume. The result feels modern and attention-grabbing rather than refined or understated.
The design appears intended to maximize impact with a streamlined, rounded geometry and a built-in sense of speed. It favors bold silhouette recognition and consistent texture over delicate detailing, aiming for energetic display performance across both letters and figures.
In the sample text, the bold weight and tight internal spaces create a strong, continuous rhythm, especially in long lines. Rounded joins and softened corners help prevent the extreme weight from feeling harsh, but the compact counters can make small sizes feel heavy. Numerals match the same sturdy, rounded construction for consistent emphasis in mixed text.
