A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters. Strokes stay essentially monoline, with corners consistently softened and terminals often cut on an angle, giving a streamlined, forward-leaning silhouette. The uppercase reads sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase keeps tight apertures and robust joins, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. Numerals and capitals share the same broad, curved geometry, maintaining a cohesive, superellipse-like rhythm across the set.
Best suited to large-scale settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, event graphics, and brand marks that need a muscular, dynamic voice. It can work well on packaging and apparel-style graphics, especially when paired with simple layouts and ample spacing to keep the dense forms from crowding.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a sporty, poster-ready presence. Rounded forms soften the mass, balancing toughness with approachability, and the strong slant adds a sense of motion and urgency. It suggests retro athletic branding and high-energy display typography more than quiet, neutral reading.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch with smooth, rounded geometry and a built-in forward lean, aiming for energetic display performance. Its consistent soft corners and compact, heavy shapes prioritize bold recognition and a modern-retro athletic feel.
The design emphasizes wide curves and squared-off rounds, with counters that remain relatively enclosed at smaller sizes, increasing the sense of weight and solidity. The italics appear built-in rather than obliqued, as the shapes maintain consistent internal logic and angled details across letters and figures.
