A heavy, obliqued sans with broad, rounded bowls and compact counters that stay open despite the dense color. Curves read as superelliptical—more rounded-rectangle than geometric circle—while terminals are blunt and softly finished rather than sharply cut. The design carries a consistent forward slant with a low-contrast, poster-like stroke treatment and smooth, inflated joins that give letters a padded, blocky silhouette. Overall spacing feels intentionally tight and energetic, producing a strong, continuous texture in words and lines of text.
Best used for large-scale typography where its weight and rounded, slanted forms can deliver maximum impact—such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short logotype-style wordmarks where a wide, energetic stance is desirable, but it will feel overpowering in long-form text.
The tone is loud and confident, with a distinctly sporty and retro headline energy. Its rounded massing and italic thrust add a sense of speed and impact, while the softened corners keep it friendly and playful rather than aggressive. The result feels promotional and attention-grabbing, suited to bold statements and branding moments.
The letterforms appear designed to combine speed and friendliness: an italicized, high-impact silhouette paired with superelliptical rounding that keeps the texture smooth and approachable. The consistent bulk and tight rhythm suggest an emphasis on display performance and strong brand presence across short phrases and titles.
Numerals are wide and squat with large, rounded forms and sturdy diagonals, keeping the same cushioned geometry as the letters. Uppercase shapes maintain broad horizontal presence, and the lowercase keeps a sturdy, compact rhythm with rounded apertures and a pronounced forward motion.
