A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with soft cornering and minimal modulation, producing sturdy, graphic silhouettes. Curves and bowls read as superelliptical forms, while joins and terminals stay clean and slightly squared-off rather than calligraphic. Counters are compact and the overall spacing feels tight and punchy, with a consistent rightward slant across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, product packaging, and sports or streetwear-style graphics. The dense weight and rounded geometry make it especially effective for bold typographic statements where immediate legibility and visual momentum are priorities.
The tone is bold and kinetic, with a sporty, forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and confidence. Rounded geometry keeps the weight from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, contemporary flavor while staying emphatically attention-getting.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a compact, rounded-rect geometry and a consistent oblique slant, balancing toughness with approachability. It aims for a contemporary, display-first voice that reads quickly and projects motion.
Uppercase shapes favor simplified, blocky forms (notably in letters like E, F, T) that maintain clarity at display sizes. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded-rect logic, with strong, poster-like presence and a cohesive rhythm alongside the letters.
