A heavy, slanted sans with rounded geometry and broad, smooth curves paired with firm straight segments. The letterforms have thick, even strokes and compact internal counters, creating a dense, high-impact silhouette. Terminals are generally soft and blunt rather than sharp, and the overall rhythm leans lively due to the forward slant and slightly bouncy shapes in rounds and diagonals. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, with simplified, tightly enclosed bowls and a consistent, cohesive color on the page.
Best used for short, bold statements such as headlines, posters, event promotions, sports branding, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It performs especially well where a compact, energetic voice is desired and where generous size can preserve counter detail.
The overall tone is energetic and upbeat, with a strong retro-sports feel. Its rounded heft and forward motion read as approachable and fun rather than formal, making it well suited to attention-grabbing, personality-forward typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded sans structure and a dynamic forward lean. Its proportions and dense forms suggest a focus on display typography that feels fast, modern-retro, and immediately legible at larger sizes.
At text sizes the dense counters and heavy joins can reduce interior clarity, while larger sizes emphasize its smooth curves and bold, graphic presence. The forward slant contributes a sense of speed and momentum, especially in words with many diagonals and rounded letters.
