A heavy, compact sans with a consistent rightward slant and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and smooth, enclosed counters that keep interior spaces readable despite the dense weight. Curves lean toward superelliptical geometry, giving bowls and rounds a squarish, inflated feel rather than a true circle. Terminals are blunt and rounded, and the overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with small apertures and sturdy joins that emphasize solidity.
Best used at display sizes where its compact, slanted forms can deliver impact without crowding. It works well for headlines, logotypes, apparel graphics, posters, and packaging that benefits from a bold, retro-sport tone. Short to medium lines of text are especially effective, where the dense weight creates a confident, uniform typographic color.
The font reads energetic and upbeat, with a distinctly retro display attitude. Its slanted, chunky silhouettes suggest speed and motion, while the rounded shaping keeps it friendly rather than aggressive. The overall tone feels sporty and attention-grabbing, suited to bold statements and branding moments that want warmth and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a friendly, rounded, motion-forward style. By combining heavy strokes with softened, superelliptical shapes and a consistent slant, it aims to feel fast, contemporary-retro, and highly legible in branding-oriented display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, rounded-block logic, producing strong texture in lines of text. Numerals match the letterforms with the same compact proportions and soft-cornered, solid construction, maintaining a cohesive voice across alphanumerics.
