A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly radiused corners throughout. The letterforms are broad and compact, with tight internal counters and a strong, continuous silhouette that reads as solid blocks of ink. Curves are smoothed into superelliptical shapes, while diagonals and joins stay clean and blunt rather than sharp, giving a streamlined, uniform rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for merchandise graphics and large-format signage where the dense shapes and rounded corners stay legible and visually strong.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a forward-leaning motion that feels athletic and attention-grabbing. Its rounded geometry keeps the impact friendly and accessible, landing in a retro-display space that suggests speed, competition, and pop culture graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a smooth, modernized retro geometry—combining blunt, powerful massing with softened corners for a less aggressive, more approachable display voice. The consistent, rounded construction suggests a focus on branding and titling where speed and emphasis are key.
Uppercase forms feel especially stable and poster-like, while the lowercase retains the same chunky, rounded logic for a consistent voice in mixed-case settings. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly dense bowls and softened terminals, keeping the set cohesive for headline use.
