A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and broadly rounded, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are thick and uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to be blunt with softened corners, creating a dense, blocky texture. Counters are tight (notably in letters like a, e, o, and 8), and joins are smooth and weighty, giving the lowercase a single-storey structure and a sturdy, closed-in rhythm. Overall spacing reads slightly condensed and punchy, optimized for bold, short bursts of text rather than delicate detailing.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence and motion are desired—posters, headlines, sports or team-style branding, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics. It can work for short subheads or labels, but extended text will feel heavy and compact.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, poster-forward personality. Its rounded geometry and italic slant keep it friendly and dynamic rather than severe, hinting at retro athletic graphics and bold, playful headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning stance and rounded, modernized shapes—combining athletic energy with approachable geometry for attention-grabbing typography.
The slant and chunky massing create strong forward motion, while the rounded rectangles in bowls and numerals keep forms cohesive across the set. At smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense counters may reduce clarity, but at display sizes the silhouette is distinctive and consistent.
