A condensed, right-slanted sans with heavy strokes and broadly rounded corners. Shapes lean on squarish, superellipse-like bowls and counters, giving letters a compact, blocky footprint while staying smooth rather than sharp. Curves are generous and terminals are mostly blunt or softly tapered, producing a sturdy rhythm with occasional calligraphic nuance in joints and diagonals. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with tight internal spaces and an emphasis on simplified, legible silhouettes.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, sports and lifestyle branding, and packaging where a dense, energetic texture is desirable. It can also work for signage or label-style typography when set with generous spacing and ample size to keep counters open.
The tone is lively and assertive, combining a sporty urgency with a slightly retro, poster-like charm. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice approachable, while the slant and weight add momentum and confidence. Overall it feels upbeat and action-oriented without becoming overly aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, energetic display voice built from rounded-rectangle geometry—pairing condensed proportions and a forward slant for motion, while keeping forms soft and approachable through heavily rounded corners.
Round letters like O, Q, and 0 read as rounded rectangles, reinforcing the geometric theme, while diagonals in forms like A, V, W, and X create strong directional movement. Numerals are bold and compact with simple, sign-friendly forms that match the uppercase’s punchy presence.
