A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, superellipse-like bowls and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broad and confident with modest contrast, producing dense, dark word shapes and tight counters in letters like a, e, and s. The lowercase has a tall profile and the overall rhythm feels slightly elastic, with some glyphs appearing wider or more compact to balance the slant. Numerals are similarly chunky and rounded, maintaining consistent weight and a strong, poster-friendly silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, sports and event branding, posters, and attention-grabbing packaging or labels. It can work for punchy subheads or callouts, but the dense counters and heavy texture make it less comfortable for long passages at small sizes.
The tone is loud, energetic, and athletic, with a playful swagger that recalls vintage sports graphics and punchy headline typography. Its rounded forms keep it friendly while the aggressive weight and forward slant add urgency and motion.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of speed and momentum, using a pronounced slant and rounded, blocky construction for friendly but forceful display typography.
Round letters (O/Q/0/8/9) read as sturdy, rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles, reinforcing the superellipse theme. Apertures tend to be tight and joins are firm, which boosts impact at display sizes but can reduce interior clarity when set small or tightly tracked.
