A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and confident with subtly softened corners and mostly uniform weight, producing dense black shapes and compact internal counters. Terminals tend to be blunt and squared-off rather than tapered, while curves read as superelliptical and tightly controlled. The overall rhythm is wide and steady, with lowercase forms that keep generous width and simple, geometric bowls; figures match the same solid, rounded-block texture.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as sports identities, event and promotional graphics, posters, bold UI banners, and packaging where quick recognition matters. It works especially well in short lines, titles, and emphasis text where the slanted, blocky forms can communicate motion and intensity.
The font projects speed and impact: bold, competitive, and contemporary with a sporty, headline-driven attitude. Its rounded geometry keeps the tone friendly and approachable, while the strong slant and dense weight add urgency and motion.
Designed to deliver a strong, fast-moving display voice using wide, rounded-rectangular forms and a consistent, heavy stroke that reads cleanly and confidently at large sizes. The softened geometry suggests an intention to balance aggression with approachability for modern branding.
Counters are relatively closed at smaller sizes, and letterspacing appears best when given a bit of breathing room for clarity. The slant and wide stance make the texture feel continuous and powerful in all-caps and short phrases, and the numerals carry the same punchy, uniform presence as the letters.
