A heavy, oblique sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry, with softened corners and broad, even strokes. Curves tend to resolve into flattened bowls and squared-off counters, creating a blocky silhouette with a smooth, molded feel rather than sharp terminals. Letters show a forward-leaning rhythm and tight, efficient interiors (notably in rounded forms), while diagonals and joins stay sturdy and thick. The overall texture is dense and dark, with consistent rounding across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display typography where impact and momentum matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, and energetic campaigns. It also fits sports and fitness graphics, product packaging, and editorial callouts where a chunky, rounded italic can carry personality at large sizes.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a playful retro-sport flavor. Its rounded, cushioned shapes keep the impact friendly, while the slant adds motion and a sense of speed. The result feels bold and attention-grabbing without becoming harsh or aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a streamlined, contemporary take on retro athletic letterforms—combining superelliptical softness with a forward slant for motion and immediacy.
The design favors strong silhouettes over delicate detail, so small sizes may reduce internal clarity in closed or tightly countered forms. In display settings, the consistent corner rounding and oblique stance create a cohesive, fast-moving word shape.
