A heavy, blocky sans with a consistent reverse slant and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with corners softened into squarish radii and counters kept tight and geometric (notably in O, D, and 8). Terminals are mostly flat and cut cleanly, and several forms show deliberate notch-like joins and angular shoulders (e.g., S, R, and K), reinforcing a constructed, stencil-adjacent feel without true breaks. The overall rhythm is compact with sturdy verticals and simplified curves, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to short, bold settings where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, sports and team-style branding, apparel graphics, and packaging callouts. It can also work for UI labels or badges when large enough to preserve the tight counters and distinctive cut-in details.
The font reads as energetic and forceful, with a sporty, poster-like attitude and a touch of retro arcade/athletics signage. Its reverse-leaning stance adds motion and a slightly rebellious tone, while the rounded-square geometry keeps it friendly rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modernized retro voice using superelliptical, rounded-rectangle forms and a reverse slant for motion. It prioritizes punch, uniformity, and geometric character over delicate detail, aiming for confident display typography.
Uppercase forms are especially punchy and uniform, while lowercase maintains the same geometric logic, keeping a cohesive voice across cases and numerals. The numerals share the same squared counters and broad proportions, making them visually compatible for headings and score/identifier-like uses.
