A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Letterforms are compact and blocky, with broad strokes, small counters, and a noticeably squared-off, superelliptical geometry that keeps curves tight and controlled. Terminals tend to be blunt and rounded rather than tapered, and the overall rhythm is dense, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that favor impact over delicacy. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky, slightly condensed feel, creating a cohesive, poster-like texture in text.
Best suited to large-scale display work such as headlines, posters, titles, and attention-grabbing branding. It also fits sports graphics, product packaging, and short promotional copy where bold, kinetic lettering is desired; it’s less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is fast and assertive, evoking a sporty, retro display style with a friendly edge from the rounded corners. Its strong slant and compact massing give it motion and urgency, while the squarish curves keep it playful rather than aggressive.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-rectangular sans construction. The slanted stance and compact shapes suggest an intention to communicate speed and confidence while staying approachable through softened corners and simplified forms.
In longer lines the dark color is pronounced, so spacing and line breaks become part of the look; the font reads best when allowed breathing room. Distinctive squared bowls and counters give it a recognizable silhouette at a distance, but very small sizes may lose internal detail due to the tight apertures.
