A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and sturdy with gently modulated curves, producing compact counters and a dense, poster-ready color. The italic slant is consistent and mechanical rather than calligraphic, and terminals tend to finish with blunt, rounded ends. Round letters like O and Q read as squarish superellipses, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are broad and stable, reinforcing a blocky, athletic rhythm.
Best suited to display sizes where its dense weight and rounded-square forms can deliver maximum impact: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and apparel graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style text when you want a strong, friendly emphasis rather than neutrality.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It suggests action and momentum—sport, transport, and signage—while retaining a slightly vintage, utilitarian feel.
The design appears intended to combine high-impact boldness with approachable rounded geometry, delivering a fast, sporty italic voice without relying on sharp corners or decorative detailing. It aims for consistent, modular shapes that reproduce cleanly in large, graphic applications.
Uppercase forms are tall and compact, and the lowercase leans toward single‑storey, simplified shapes that prioritize impact over delicate detail. Numerals are thick and upright in construction but follow the same oblique stance, giving sequences a cohesive, uniform texture.
