A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smoothly softened corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, creating dense, compact counters and a strong silhouette with minimal modulation. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls, and terminals are blunt rather than sharply tapered. The overall rhythm is punchy and slightly compressed in feel, with tight internal spaces that favor impact over delicacy.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, promotional graphics, and packaging where bold readability at larger sizes is desired. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from rounded strength and a sense of motion, while extended body text may feel visually heavy due to the dense counters and tight apertures.
The tone is energetic and extroverted, with a sporty, action-oriented flavor reinforced by the pronounced slant and muscular weight. Rounded geometry keeps it friendly and approachable, but the dense blackness reads bold and assertive. It feels contemporary and promotional, leaning toward motion and emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a modern, rounded geometry and a dynamic slant, balancing friendliness with force. Its simplified, superelliptical forms suggest a focus on contemporary branding and display use, prioritizing strong silhouettes and consistent texture over fine detail.
Numerals are sturdy and simplified with large, dark forms; the “0” is an oval with a tight counter, and figures generally match the headline-like density of the letters. Lowercase forms maintain the same chunky, rounded logic, with single-storey shapes and compact apertures that stay consistent in texture across words. The italic angle is strong enough to be a defining feature, contributing to a sense of speed.
