A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and strongly rounded corners throughout. Strokes stay broadly uniform, producing a dense, poster-like color, while counters are relatively tight and openings are modest. The drawing favors squarish, superelliptical curves over perfect circles, giving C/G/O and the bowls in B/P/R a rounded-rectangle feel. Terminals are blunt and softened, diagonals are sturdy, and forms like W and M read wide and stable despite the overall condensed, forward-leaning stance.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, promotional lines, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and signage. It performs especially well at larger sizes where its dense weight, rounded-rect geometry, and italic momentum can carry a strong visual message.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward motion that feels athletic and promotional. Its chunky shapes and softened corners balance toughness with approachability, giving it a bold, contemporary voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, contemporary sans structure—combining a slanted, energetic rhythm with softened, superelliptical curves for a bold but friendly presence.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same sturdy construction with single-storey a and g, reinforcing a modern, utilitarian character. Figures are similarly compact and weighty, built to hold up in large, high-impact settings rather than delicate detail.
