A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, blunt terminals and smooth, low-contrast strokes. The forms are compact and sturdy, with generous curves in rounds (C/O/Q) and simplified geometry that keeps counters open despite the weight. Joins and diagonals read as solid wedges, giving letters like A/K/M/N/V/W/X a dense, athletic rhythm. Lowercase shows single-story a and g, a deep-shouldered r, and a sturdy, footed t, all maintaining a consistent, punchy texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and product or app titles where a compact, energetic voice is needed. It can also work for callouts and signage-style emphasis, but its dense weight is most effective above body-text sizes.
The overall tone feels energetic and assertive, with a sporty forward motion from the slant and a friendly approachability from the rounded shapes. Its boldness and compactness evoke a retro display sensibility while still reading clean and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a friendly, rounded sans structure and a strong sense of motion. It prioritizes bold readability and a cohesive, sporty texture for display typography.
Numerals are wide and weighty with simple, highly legible silhouettes; the 0 is oval and the 8 is tightly stacked, reinforcing the compact, poster-ready color. The uppercase and lowercase share consistent curvature and terminal treatment, producing an even, high-impact typographic “block” in longer lines.
