A condensed, right-slanted sans with heavy, smooth strokes and softly rounded terminals throughout. The letterforms feel drawn rather than constructed: curves are slightly irregular, joins are gently tapered, and many strokes show a subtle brush-like modulation without sharp contrast. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be narrow, giving the face a tight, vertical rhythm, while the overall spacing remains readable in display settings. Numerals follow the same rounded, energetic construction, with open, simplified shapes suited to fast scanning.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, sports or recreation branding, and energetic packaging. It also works well for badges, labels, and social graphics where a compact, forward-leaning voice helps convey speed and enthusiasm.
The font projects a friendly, energetic tone with a vintage athletic flavor. Its rounded edges and brisk slant add approachability, while the condensed silhouette and confident stroke weight create a sense of motion and punch.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a condensed sans with the warmth of rounded, brush-like drawing, creating a compact display face that feels fast, informal, and inviting.
The uppercase has a clean, sign-painting inspired feel, while the lowercase introduces more handwritten character (notably in the single-storey forms and the lively descenders). The overall texture is dark and continuous, making it most comfortable when given a bit of breathing room rather than tightly tracked in long paragraphs.
