A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with broad curves that resolve into flattened terminals and gently notched joins, giving many letters a sculpted, cut-from-rubber look. Counters are relatively tight and often squared-off, while overall proportions feel compact with a strong forward slant and lively, slightly varied character widths that create a bouncy rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, and bold callouts where its forward-leaning energy and rounded mass can be appreciated. It works well for sports and action branding, retro-themed posters, product packaging, and logo wordmarks that need a friendly but forceful presence.
The face projects motion and impact—confident, punchy, and a bit mischievous. Its rounded geometry keeps the tone friendly, while the steep slant and dense weight add a competitive, sporty edge reminiscent of retro headline lettering and packaging display type.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display italic that blends soft, superelliptical forms with dense weight for immediate attention. Its geometry and slant emphasize speed and approachability, aiming for memorable, readable shapes at large sizes rather than long-form text comfort.
In running text the dark color builds quickly, so spacing and size will strongly affect clarity; the design reads best when given room and used for emphasis. Numerals and capitals carry a particularly robust, poster-like presence, suited to short bursts of information.
