A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform with modest contrast, and counters tend to be small, giving letters a compact, stamped look. The overall width is generous, but sidebearings are tight, creating dense word shapes and strong horizontal momentum. Curves and terminals resolve into superelliptical forms rather than circles, producing a distinctly squarish roundness across both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, sports and gaming identities, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can work for brief subheads or captions when set with ample tracking and leading, but its tight counters and heavy color make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is energetic and extroverted, with a sporty, display-forward voice that feels both retro and playful. Its chunky silhouettes and forward slant read as fast and confident, leaning toward arcade, racing, and pop-culture signage aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through wide, rounded-rectangular forms and a consistent oblique stance. It prioritizes speed, solidity, and a distinctive superelliptical silhouette to create memorable, logo-like wordmarks and attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase forms show simplified, geometric joins and broad shoulders, while lowercase maintains the same squared-round logic for bowls and arches. Numerals match the set’s mass and slant, with wide, stable shapes that emphasize impact over fine detail. The dense texture in paragraphs is highly graphic and works best when space and line breaks are managed deliberately.
