A heavy, slanted sans with soft, superelliptical curves and squared-off counters that read like rounded rectangles. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are smoothly blunted rather than sharply cut, giving the letters a molded, cohesive feel. The proportions favor broad bodies and generous corner radii; curves (C, O, S) stay taut and geometric, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) are sturdy and slightly compressed at joins. Lowercase forms are simple and robust, with single-storey a and g, a round dot on i/j, and a compact, blocky rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of text where its mass and slant can create momentum. It works well for branding in sports, streetwear, food and beverage packaging, and poster graphics that benefit from bold, rounded geometry. For longer reading, larger sizes and looser spacing will help preserve clarity in dense letter combinations.
The tone is energetic and approachable, combining a sporty forward lean with soft edges that keep it friendly. Its chunky geometry and rounded-square shaping suggest a modern-retro sensibility—confident and bold without feeling aggressive. Overall it projects motion, optimism, and a casual, fun attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, forward-moving sans that feels contemporary yet nostalgic, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms friendly and consistent. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a smooth, cohesive texture for display typography and brand-driven applications.
Round counters and tight apertures help maintain a consistent texture in large sizes, while the thick joins can visually close up in small settings. Numerals are equally rounded and weighty, with simplified shapes and strong silhouettes suited to impact-oriented layouts.
