A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and generous corner radii. Strokes are thick and even, with low contrast and firmly closed counters that give the letters a compact, muscular silhouette. Curves read as superelliptical rather than circular, and joins are smooth, producing a softened block look instead of sharp geometry. The lowercase shows sturdy, simplified forms with a single-storey feel where applicable, while figures are wide, bold, and built to hold their shape at large sizes.
Best suited for big, high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and logo/wordmark work where bold presence is required. It also performs well for short emphatic statements, labels, and attention-grabbing UI moments where a compact, energetic italic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, headline-first presence. The rounded corners temper the weight, keeping the voice friendly rather than aggressive, while the consistent slant adds motion and urgency. It suggests vintage athletic lettering and bold promotional typography without feeling overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance and rounded, superelliptical shapes that stay sturdy under heavy weight. It prioritizes silhouette strength and consistency across the set to create a cohesive, brand-ready display style.
In the sample text, the dense weight and tight internal spaces create strong color on the page, favoring short bursts of copy over long passages. The oblique angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping maintain a unified rhythm in mixed-case settings.
