A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique stance and broad, superellipse-like construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with soft corners and frequent cut-in notches that read like modern ink traps, keeping counters open despite the dense weight. Forms lean forward with a compact, aerodynamic rhythm; many terminals are squared-off yet rounded, producing a smooth, molded look. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, wide-set geometry, with single-storey a and g and squared counters in letters like O and P.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, logo wordmarks, sports and esports identities, posters, and bold packaging. It can also work for large UI labels or signage where a rounded, energetic display voice is needed, but the dense weight favors larger sizes over long text.
The tone feels sporty and kinetic, combining retro display energy with a friendly, toy-like softness. The forward slant and chunky massing suggest motion and impact, while the rounded rectangles keep it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-rect geometry, pairing an italicized forward motion with open counters and trap-like cut-ins for clarity. Overall it aims for a contemporary sports/display voice that remains friendly and legible.
Spacing appears intentionally generous for such a heavy style, helping the black shapes separate cleanly in words. Numerals match the same rounded-rectangular logic and read well at display sizes, with distinctive, compact bowls and softened corners.
