A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, superellipse-like construction and softened corners. Forms are built from thick strokes with compact counters and rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters a sturdy, inflated silhouette. Curves stay smooth and full while joins and terminals are kept blunt and clean, producing a solid, poster-ready texture with minimal internal detail. Spacing reads generous and stable in uppercase, with lowercase showing simplified shapes and dense bowls that maintain a uniform, high-impact color on the line.
This font is well suited for bold headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing short copy where impact matters most. It also fits sports and team-style branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a wide, rounded, forward-leaning voice.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a playful, throwback feel. Its chunky, rounded forms and consistent slant evoke motion and confidence, leaning toward sporty and headline-driven messaging rather than quiet or formal typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visibility and momentum through wide proportions, rounded superellipse forms, and a consistent italic slant. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and uniform typographic color for display use, aiming for a friendly but forceful presence.
Numerals are wide and weighty with rounded apertures, matching the font’s soft-rectangular logic. The slant is consistent across letters and figures, and the design favors closed, sturdy counters that keep strokes visually unified at display sizes.
