A heavy, slanted sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse shapes, with soft corners and broad, flattened curves. Counters and apertures are tight and often pinched, producing a dense, punchy rhythm, while terminals tend to be sheared or horizontally clipped rather than tapered. The overall construction leans geometric and blocky, with a tall lowercase presence and a strong forward angle that keeps letterforms feeling fast and cohesive at display sizes. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic, emphasizing large bodies and small interior openings.
Best used in headlines, posters, and branding where maximum impact is needed—sports identity, event graphics, arcade-inspired visuals, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when set large enough to preserve the counters.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a distinctly sporty, arcade/poster-like feel. Its inflated, rounded forms read as friendly but forceful, making it well-suited to loud, attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet text settings.
The font appears designed to deliver a fast, powerful display voice using rounded superellipse geometry and an aggressive slant, prioritizing bold silhouettes and motion over fine detail.
The design relies on silhouette clarity more than interior detail; as sizes shrink, the small counters and narrow joins can close up and increase darkness. The italic slant and wide stance create strong horizontal momentum, especially in all-caps lines and short words.
