A compact, slanted sans with rounded terminals and smoothly curved bowls that keep the texture even and dense. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with softened joins and minimal sharp corners, giving letters a resilient, airbrushed silhouette rather than a crisp geometric edge. Counters are relatively tight in several forms, and the overall set reads as condensed with sturdy, blocky proportions. The lowercase is notably compact, with a single-storey a and g, and figures that mirror the same rounded, heavy construction for a consistent color in running text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and athletic or casual lifestyle branding. It can work for punchy UI labels or callouts when used at larger sizes, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. Its slant and rounded shapes add approachability, while the dense weight and compact width create urgency and impact. The overall impression leans retro-athletic—clean and casual rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact voice with forward motion, prioritizing bold legibility and a friendly, rounded finish. It aims for high visual presence in limited horizontal space while keeping a soft, approachable character.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create forward motion even in all-caps, and the rounded terminals help prevent the heavy weight from feeling harsh. In the sample text, the font maintains strong word shapes, but the tight internal spaces suggest it will look best with slightly generous tracking and line spacing at smaller sizes.
