A tightly condensed, heavy sans with an oblique stance and smoothly rounded corners throughout. Letterforms are built from compact, superellipse-like masses: bowls and counters are rounded-rectangular, terminals are blunt, and curves transition with minimal modulation for a solid, even color. The proportions are tall and narrow with short apertures and compact counters, giving the type a dense rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, streamlined construction, with consistent stroke thickness and slightly squared interior shapes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where compact width and high impact are needed. It performs especially well in sporty or promotional contexts, on signage, labels, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a tall, condensed silhouette and a forward-leaning emphasis.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, combining a sporty forward lean with softened, friendly rounding. It reads as bold and promotional rather than formal, suggesting speed, impact, and a lightly nostalgic display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a dynamic slant with rounded, modernized geometry. Its consistent, low-modulation strokes and softened corners suggest a focus on strong legibility at display sizes while maintaining a friendly, contemporary edge.
The narrow width and heavy weight create strong vertical emphasis and tight letterspacing at display sizes, while the rounded geometry keeps the texture from feeling harsh. The oblique angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a sense of motion.
