A very heavy, oblique sans with rounded, superellipse-like curves and broadly squared outer shapes. Strokes are consistently thick with compact apertures and counters, giving letters a dense, punchy color. Terminals are clean and largely blunt, while curves stay smooth and inflated rather than sharp. The italic angle is pronounced and the rhythm is lively, with a few notably narrow, condensed-looking capitals (such as M and W) that add a slightly variable, energetic texture across words.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold callouts. Its slanted, rounded massing works well for sports branding, energetic packaging, and logo wordmarks, especially when set with slightly increased letterspacing. For longer passages, larger sizes and comfortable leading help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is bold, athletic, and attention-seeking, with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as modern-retro and energetic rather than formal, projecting confidence and momentum. The strong slant adds urgency and motion, making the voice feel dynamic and promotional.
Likely designed as a high-impact italic display sans that combines blunt strength with rounded friendliness. The goal appears to be fast visual emphasis—creating motion and density—while keeping forms approachable through soft corners and smooth, inflated curves.
At text sizes the heavy weight and tight inner spaces can cause details to close up, so it benefits from generous tracking and breathing room. The numerals and caps carry the same compact, punchy shapes, supporting a cohesive display look.
