A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and a distinctly “molded” silhouette that keeps corners blunt rather than sharp. The letterforms are broad and stable, with compact internal counters (notably in B, a, e, and 8) and a generally geometric rhythm that favors stout bowls and wide shoulders. Spacing reads intentionally tight and mass-forward, producing dense word shapes and strong typographic color, especially in all caps.
Best suited for display typography where impact matters: posters, big headlines, punchy brand marks, product packaging, and sports or entertainment graphics. The dense weight and compact counters favor larger sizes and short-to-medium text runs over extended reading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It feels sporty and promotional—built to grab attention—while also carrying a slightly retro, arcade-and-advertising flavor due to the chunky shapes and slanted stance.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence with a smooth, approachable geometry—combining a strong slanted drive with rounded, superelliptical forms to create a bold, contemporary display voice that still feels friendly and fun.
Numerals are similarly robust and simplified, with large, dark forms designed to hold up at display sizes. The oblique angle is consistent across cases, and the rounded-square construction gives a cohesive, logo-like uniformity across the set.
