A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, producing dense, inky shapes and a steady typographic color. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be partially closed, while terminals are blunted and smoothly finished. The overall rhythm favors compact, forward-leaning forms and a slightly elastic feel in curves, with a consistent rounded geometry across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where a strong, forward-leaning voice is useful—posters, brand marks, sports and lifestyle graphics, and energetic packaging. It can also work for UI or labels when used at larger sizes with generous spacing, but it’s not optimized for long-form reading.
The font reads as energetic and assertive while staying approachable due to its rounded forms. Its forward slant and chunky silhouettes suggest motion and momentum, giving it a sporty, promotional tone with a mild retro flavor. The result feels bold and friendly rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a smooth, modern-rounded construction and an italic stance that implies speed. It aims for a balance of toughness and friendliness by combining a very heavy build with softened corners and compact, controlled counters.
The sample text shows strong impact at display sizes, where the rounded corners and superellipse-like curves become a defining personality cue. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and heavy weight can reduce internal clarity, especially in dense text blocks, so spacing and size choices matter for legibility.
