A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique slant and a squarish, superellipse construction. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with broad bowls, tight apertures, and compact internal counters that emphasize weight. Corners are heavily radiused and terminals are soft, producing a smooth silhouette; several joins show subtle notches and cut-ins that read like ink-trap behavior at bold sizes. Proportions lean contemporary with a tall lowercase presence, while overall widths vary just enough to keep a lively rhythm in words and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where impact and readability are needed at a glance—headlines, posters, short UI labels, and bold editorial callouts. It also fits brand marks and packaging that want a sporty, retro-leaning voice with friendly rounded forms, and it can hold up well for large-format signage or merchandising.
The tone is energetic and approachable, pairing athletic punch with a softened, friendly feel. Its rounded, inflated shapes and forward slant create a sense of motion and confidence, giving it a distinctly retro-sport and “headline” attitude without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence with smooth, rounded geometry and a built-in sense of motion from the slant. The compact counters and softened corners suggest an intention to stay clean and readable at heavy weights while projecting an energetic, contemporary-retro personality.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and blocklike, while the lowercase introduces more bounce through rounded shoulders and compact counters. Numerals are equally hefty and highly legible, matching the same softened, squared-off geometry for consistent texture in mixed text.
