A slanted, heavy sans with compact proportions and strongly rounded terminals. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation that reads as carved or brushed, with softened joins and occasional notch-like cut-ins that keep counters open in dense shapes. The lowercase is tall and sturdy, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture. Numerals are chunky and display-like, matching the rounded, slightly condensed skeleton and the pronounced contrast.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, sports or event branding, product packaging, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for punchy subheads or pull quotes where its slanted momentum and contrast can carry the layout without needing additional decoration.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, combining a vintage sports-signage feel with a slightly playful softness from the rounded corners and inflated shapes. The contrast and slant add speed and attitude, giving it a bold, headline-driven voice that feels lively rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch while maintaining legibility in dense, bold letterforms. By pairing a forward slant with rounded, slightly condensed shapes and noticeable modulation, it aims for a fast, sporty display look that remains cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Spacing appears tuned for impact: tight inner counters and broad, simplified silhouettes help the letters hold together as a unified block. Some forms include subtle cut-ins near joins (especially in heavier letters) that add character and improve separation at large sizes.
