A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are consistently thick with softened corners and minimal modulation, producing smooth, superelliptical curves in bowls and counters. The rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with wide, sturdy joins and compact apertures that keep shapes dense and graphic. Numerals and capitals follow the same rounded, blocky logic, maintaining a uniform, high-impact texture across lines.
Best suited to headlines, logos, posters, and packaging where a compact, high-impact italic voice is desirable. It also fits sports and lifestyle branding, event graphics, and promotional copy that benefits from an energetic, forward-leaning presence.
The overall tone is fast, friendly, and assertive, with a distinctly sporty, retro-leaning feel. Its rounded geometry keeps the boldness from feeling harsh, while the slant adds motion and urgency suited to attention-getting messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, space-efficient display sans that feels dynamic and approachable. The rounded superellipse shapes and consistent stroke weight suggest an intention to balance toughness with friendliness while maintaining strong legibility in short bursts of text.
Forms read especially well at larger sizes where the rounded terminals and compact counters become a defining signature. In smaller settings, the dense interiors and tight apertures can make letterforms feel darker and more compressed, which favors short, prominent text over extended reading.
