A heavy, right-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened terminals throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth joins and minimal modulation, creating an even, blocky rhythm despite the italic slant. Counters tend to be tight and squarish-rounded (notably in O, D, P, and 8), while the apertures and bowls stay open enough for clear silhouettes at display sizes. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a compact, rounded t, reinforcing a streamlined, contemporary superellipse feel.
Best suited to short-form display applications where bold presence and a lively slant help lead the eye—such as branding, packaging, posters, social graphics, and sports or lifestyle identities. It can also work for punchy subheads and callouts, especially when you want a soft, friendly impact rather than a hard-edged italic.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a sporty, sticker-like punch that reads as casual and upbeat. The strong slant and rounded geometry add motion and friendliness, giving it a modern-retro personality suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Likely designed to combine a strong, high-impact weight with rounded superellipse forms and a dynamic italic stance, aiming for legible, modern display typography that feels energetic and welcoming. The consistent stroke thickness and softened corners suggest an emphasis on bold clarity and a distinctive, motion-forward silhouette.
Diagonal strokes (A, V, W, X) feel slightly compressed and springy, and the numerals have the same rounded, chunky build, producing a cohesive alphanumeric set. The italic angle is pronounced but kept stable by the broad, uniform stroke weight and rounded corners, which prevents the face from feeling sharp or aggressive.
