A heavy, oblique sans with broad, compact letterforms and rounded internal spaces. Strokes are thick and consistent, with smooth curves and softly blunted terminals that keep the shapes friendly despite the mass. Counters are relatively small, apertures are tight, and the overall rhythm reads as dense and assertive. Numerals and uppercase forms follow the same sturdy, slightly squashed geometry, maintaining a cohesive, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where impact is the priority: bold headlines, posters, athletic or action-themed branding, and packaging that needs immediate shelf presence. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but extended small-size text may feel crowded due to the dense counters and tight apertures.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, headline-forward attitude. Its rounded construction and smooth curves add a playful, approachable edge, while the strong slant communicates motion and urgency.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of motion, combining a friendly rounded skeleton with a strong, forward-leaning stance for energetic messaging.
The slant is pronounced enough to suggest speed, and the wide proportions create a strong horizontal presence. The design favors solid silhouettes over open detail, making it most at home at larger sizes where the tight counters can breathe.
