A compact, slanted sans with heavily rounded, superellipse-like construction and a consistently thick stroke. Corners are softened into broad radii, producing rounded terminals and squared-off curves that feel engineered rather than calligraphic. Counters are generally tight and geometric, and the overall rhythm is dense, with simplified shapes and minimal internal detailing. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, staying sturdy and highly graphic at display sizes.
It’s well suited to headlines, logos, and bold branding where a compact, energetic voice is needed. The style also fits sports and streetwear graphics, product packaging, and promotional materials that benefit from a sturdy, rounded, high-impact look.
The font projects a sporty, upbeat attitude with a distinctly retro, arcade-like flavor. Its chunky rounded forms and forward slant create a sense of motion and confidence, while the softened corners keep the tone approachable rather than aggressive.
The type appears designed to combine geometric, rounded-rectangle letterforms with a forward-leaning stance to suggest speed and modernity, while keeping forms friendly and highly legible in large-scale applications.
The design relies on strong silhouette and consistent rounding, giving it a cohesive “built from rounded blocks” personality. At smaller sizes, the tight apertures and dense spacing may read best with generous tracking or in short bursts rather than long passages.
