A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction in the bowls and counters. Strokes are thick and generally even, with subtly softened corners and a slight superellipse feel in letters like O, C, and G. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the overall rhythm is tight and dense, with short apertures and sturdy joins that keep the texture dark. Lowercase forms show a tall x-height and simplified, geometric shaping; numerals are similarly robust and wide-set, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where a dense, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work well on packaging or apparel graphics, especially in contexts that benefit from a fast, athletic slant and compact, readable letterforms.
The font projects a confident, energetic tone that feels sporty and action-oriented. Its strong slant and compact counters add urgency and forward motion, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-impact display sans that combines geometric, rounded-rectangle shapes with an energetic oblique stance. Its simplified forms and strong color suggest a focus on immediate readability and bold brand presence in large sizes.
Curves tend to resolve into flattened arcs rather than perfect circles, giving round letters a squarer, engineered footprint. Diagonals and terminals are cut cleanly, producing crisp silhouettes that hold up well in bold headlines and short bursts of text.
