A compact, heavy sans with a pronounced rightward slant and soft, superelliptical shaping throughout. Strokes stay broadly even, with rounded-rectangle counters and terminals that read as smoothly clipped rather than sharply cut. Proportions are condensed with sturdy verticals and slightly sheared geometry, giving letters a forward-leaning rhythm. Bowls and shoulders are full and blocky, while apertures remain relatively tight, creating a dense, poster-like texture. Numerals match the letterforms with the same rounded corners and solid, upright structure under the italic slant.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short messaging where strong presence and a sense of motion are desired. It will perform well on posters, sports and lifestyle branding, packaging, and signage, especially at medium-to-large sizes where its tight apertures and compact width read as intentional boldness rather than crowding.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, combining athletic urgency with a friendly softness. Its rounded corners and bold mass feel confident rather than aggressive, while the italic angle adds motion and a sense of speed. The result leans toward retro-sport and casual display styling.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a condensed footprint while maintaining a friendly, contemporary feel. By pairing a strong italic slant with rounded superellipse construction, it prioritizes speed, solidity, and brandable character for display-driven typography.
Uppercase forms are robust and uniform in color, and the lowercase keeps the same chunky construction, producing consistent impact across mixed-case settings. The superelliptical counters (notably in letters like O, D, P, and e) reinforce a cohesive, rounded-rectangle motif that stays consistent from letters to figures.
