A heavy, oblique sans with broad, superelliptical geometry and rounded-rectangle counters. Forms are built from thick, uniform strokes with gentle curvature at corners, creating a soft-edged blocky silhouette. The slant is consistent and the proportions feel wide and low-contrast, with tightly cut apertures and compact internal spaces that keep letters dense and punchy. Numerals match the same rounded, chunky construction, with bold closed forms and simplified joins that favor solidity over delicacy.
Best suited to short, high-visibility settings such as sports identities, event posters, bold headlines, packaging callouts, and merchandise graphics. It performs well when you want compact, high-ink shapes that stay sturdy at large sizes, and when a dynamic, italicized emphasis is desirable.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and athletic, like headline lettering meant to move. Its rounded block shapes add a friendly, game-like softness while still reading as assertive and high-impact, giving it a sporty retro flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-block construction—combining the speed cue of an oblique stance with wide, sturdy letterforms. It prioritizes bold presence and a cohesive, athletic rhythm over open, highly legible text color.
At text sizes the dense counters and narrow openings can cause letters to visually merge, so spacing and size choices matter. The strong slant and heavy mass produce a pronounced horizontal thrust, which makes it especially attention-grabbing but less neutral for long reading.
