A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with smooth corner radii and a blocky, carved feel created by occasional notches and cut-ins on joins and terminals. Counters tend to be compact and rounded, and the lowercase shows a tall, sturdy x-height that keeps word shapes tight and bold. Overall spacing reads snug, producing dark, continuous texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display roles where mass and momentum are desirable, such as headlines, posters, sports identities, and energetic campaign graphics. It can work for short bursts of text in packaging or merch where bold word shapes are an asset, but the compact counters and dense texture make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The letterforms project speed and impact, combining athletic energy with a slightly retro, arcade-and-racing sensibility. Rounded forms soften the mass, keeping the tone approachable and fun while still feeling loud and confident. The slant adds urgency and motion, making the font feel performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through large, rounded geometric forms and a built-in slant that implies motion. The combination of smooth superellipse curves with occasional chiseled cut-ins suggests a deliberate balance of friendliness and aggression for attention-grabbing typography.
The numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, geometric rhythm, with circular characters staying more squarish than purely round. Interior apertures are relatively small at this weight, so the strongest impression is of solid silhouettes and high visual density, especially in long lines. Distinctive cut details on some characters add extra bite and help separate similar shapes at display sizes.
