A heavy, condensed sans with an oblique stance and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are broad and clean with subtly softened corners, producing smooth superelliptical bowls and terminals rather than sharp joins. Counters tend to be compact and vertically oriented, while curves are slightly squashed into squared-off arcs, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Lowercase forms are simple and geometric, with single-storey a and g, a tight, rounded dot on i/j, and numerals that follow the same compact, rounded-block rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for signage and large-scale labels where the condensed width and rounded geometry can deliver a compact, graphic presence.
The overall tone is energetic and punchy, mixing a sporty, mid-century display flavor with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. Its forward slant and dense massing read as confident and kinetic, making it feel upbeat and attention-seeking rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing a strong oblique rhythm with rounded, superelliptical forms for a modernized retro display look. It prioritizes bold, unified texture and a distinctive silhouette over delicate detail.
Wide verticals and tight sidebearings create a strong, poster-like texture in text settings, with a distinctive “squared curve” silhouette in letters like C, S, O, and U. The angularity is moderated by consistent rounding, helping the face stay approachable even at high visual weight.
