A heavy, oblique sans with a compact, rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with broad internal counters that stay open despite the weight. Curves and terminals lean toward squarish superellipse shapes, giving round letters a flattened, engineered feel. The rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in texture due to the slant and tightly packed forms, while the overall spacing remains sturdy and headline-oriented.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or team-style branding, packaging titles, and logo wordmarks. It performs well when you want a strong, dynamic voice with friendly geometry, especially at medium to large sizes where its counters and rounded corners read cleanly.
The tone is bold and upbeat, combining athletic urgency with a friendly, approachable softness. Its slanted stance and chunky silhouettes suggest motion and impact, while the rounded geometry keeps it from feeling aggressive. The result reads as confident and fun, with a mild retro/display flavor.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a forward-leaning, action-oriented stance, using rounded superellipse forms to keep the heaviness approachable. The consistent monoline build and compact proportions suggest a focus on bold display typography that remains legible and cohesive across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms appear compact and blocky with rounded shoulders, while lowercase maintains strong, simplified silhouettes that prioritize clarity at larger sizes. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded geometry, with a particularly heavy presence suited to emphatic callsouts. The oblique angle is consistent across the set, reinforcing a forward-driving, logo-like momentum.
