A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and broadly uniform stroke weight. Curves are tightly controlled and corners are generously radiused, giving bowls and counters a soft, compressed feel rather than a geometric circle. The capitals are wide-shouldered and sturdy, while lowercase forms stay compact with large counters and short, thick terminals; the overall rhythm is dense and emphatic. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic, with simplified, high-ink forms designed to hold together at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short statements where maximum impact and quick recognition are needed. It also works well for branding and packaging that want a bold, sporty voice, and for signage or digital banners when set with generous spacing and large sizes.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a fast, forward-leaning posture that reads as athletic and promotional. Its rounded massing keeps the voice friendly and approachable, even while the weight and slant project urgency and strength.
The design appears intended as a display-forward italic sans that delivers strong presence with smooth, rounded geometry. It prioritizes visual momentum and legibility under heavy weight, aiming for a contemporary, energetic look rather than a neutral text voice.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the design favors closed, stable shapes over delicate detailing. Round letters like O/Q and the bowls in B/P/R show a distinctly squared-off roundness, reinforcing the superellipse character and giving text a compact, high-impact color.
