A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with smooth, blunted terminals and generous rounding in counters and joins, giving the forms a rubbery, superellipse-like feel. The glyphs sit wide with a stable baseline rhythm, and the italic slant is built into the shapes rather than added as a simple skew, producing cohesive diagonals in letters like A, K, V, and W. Numerals match the letterforms’ chunky proportions and rounded internal shapes, maintaining strong color in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, italicized sans can convey motion and confidence. It also works well for sports-themed graphics, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks that benefit from rounded, high-impact shapes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, poster-ready presence that feels contemporary while nodding to retro athletic and arcade-era graphics. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly and approachable even at very high weight, making it feel bold without becoming harsh.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of speed, using wide proportions, integrated obliquing, and rounded-rectangular forms to stay friendly while remaining emphatic. The consistent, chunky construction suggests an emphasis on bold display clarity across letters and figures.
The design favors broad silhouettes and simplified details, prioritizing impact and legibility at display sizes. Curved letters show a squared-off roundness (more rounded-corner rectangle than perfect circle), and the compact apertures and counters increase the sense of density in longer lines of text.
