A heavy, forward-slanted sans with wide-set proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with softly blunted terminals and generous corner radii that keep the texture smooth despite the weight. Counters tend to be tight and squarish, and curves read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, giving letters like O, C, and G a streamlined, molded feel. The italic angle is steady and the overall spacing creates a solid, blocky rhythm suited to large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where its weight and slant can deliver punch and motion. It works well for sports branding, event graphics, packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a robust, rounded, high-impact voice. In longer text blocks it will read dense, so it’s strongest when used at larger sizes with comfortable line spacing.
The design projects speed and impact, combining a sporty, engineered feel with friendly rounded edges. Its slant and mass suggest motion and confidence, while the softened geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. The overall tone lands in a modern-retro space often associated with athletic branding and energetic headlines.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize presence and momentum while maintaining a smooth, contemporary friendliness through rounded-rectangle geometry. The consistent slant and compact counters suggest an intention to perform as an attention-getting display italic for branding and promotional typography.
Round elements and straight segments transition with consistent radii, creating a cohesive “shaped” look across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The numerals share the same compact, rounded geometry, and the lowercase shows single-storey forms and simplified joins that prioritize bold silhouette over fine detail.
