A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly bulging curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt with gently rounded corners rather than sharp cuts. The oblique slant is consistent across caps and lowercase, creating a forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are compact and often squarish, while apertures stay relatively closed, giving the face a dense, high-impact texture. Numerals follow the same compact, rounded-block logic, maintaining a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short display lines where the condensed width and massed color can work at scale. It can also serve branding, packaging, and sports or event graphics that benefit from a bold, kinetic voice. For longer text, it will be most comfortable in larger sizes with generous leading to offset the dense counters.
The overall tone feels energetic and assertive, with a retro display flavor that reads as sporty and upbeat. Its rounded geometry softens the weight, keeping the voice friendly rather than severe, while the slant adds motion and urgency.
The font appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines condensed proportions with rounded, superelliptical forms to create a distinctive, energetic look. The consistent oblique stance suggests a focus on movement and immediacy, prioritizing attention-grabbing presence over quiet neutrality.
The design shows a deliberate tension between rigidity (condensed widths, blocky stems) and softness (superelliptical curves), producing a distinctive, “inflated” silhouette in bowls and rounds. Spacing in the samples appears tight and consistent, supporting solid word shapes at larger sizes.
