A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners. Strokes are broadly uniform, with minimal modulation and sturdy terminals that keep counters tight but readable. The design leans oblique, giving letters a forward slant and a quick, energetic rhythm. Curves are squarish and superelliptical, while joins and shoulders stay smooth and simplified for a cohesive, poster-friendly silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where compact width and high visual weight help text stand out. It also works well for packaging, badges, and sports or entertainment graphics that benefit from a forward, energetic slant. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous leading help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, blending a retro display attitude with a sporty, headline-driven voice. Its forward slant and chunky forms feel assertive and dynamic, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a friendly, rounded feel. Its oblique stance and simplified, superelliptical curves suggest a focus on motion and immediacy for display typography.
Spacing and shapes prioritize impact: apertures are relatively small, and many forms feel engineered from consistent rounded blocks, which helps maintain uniform texture in all-caps. The numerals match the same compressed, hefty construction, supporting strong typographic color in short strings and UI-like badges.
