A heavy, tightly packed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with minimal contrast and a pronounced rightward slant that reads as an italic. Counters are small and enclosed, terminals are blunt and rounded, and curves feel squarish rather than circular, giving the letters a superellipse rhythm. The overall spacing is compact, producing dense word shapes and strong vertical presence in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where impact and immediacy are needed. It works especially well for sports and streetwear-style graphics, packaging, and logo wordmarks where dense, rounded letterforms can carry personality at large sizes.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a retro, display-forward flavor reminiscent of athletic branding and 1970s-inspired headline typography. Its rounded bulk keeps it friendly and approachable while the slant adds motion and urgency.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display italic: condensed and extremely heavy for maximum color on the page, with rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the forms smooth and contemporary while maintaining a distinctly retro, sporty voice.
In running text, the weight and compact apertures create dark texture and strong silhouette, favoring short bursts over long passages. Numerals match the letterforms’ rounded, condensed feel and maintain the same bold, punchy color.
