A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves are built from squarish superelliptical bowls and soft corners, while straight strokes remain stout and consistent in thickness. Many joins show small notches or wedge-like cut-ins that read like subtle ink traps, giving the forms a chiseled, dynamic rhythm. Counters are relatively tight, terminals are mostly blunt, and the overall silhouette feels dense and energetic, with slightly irregular, hand-cut angularities peeking through the roundness.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness identities, packaging, and bold logotypes. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) where a strong, energetic voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tight counters and notched joins stay clear.
The tone is bold and upbeat, combining athletic urgency with a friendly, cartoon-adjacent softness. Its slant and chunky forms convey motion and confidence, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. Overall it evokes retro sports branding, arcade-era display type, and playful headline styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, modern-retro sans voice that feels fast and spirited without losing friendliness. The superelliptical bowls, blunt terminals, and subtle notch details suggest an emphasis on bold silhouette, brand memorability, and robust reproduction across print and digital contexts.
Uppercase shapes lean toward squared bowls (notably in C, G, O, Q) and wide, sturdy diagonals, producing strong blocky silhouettes. Lowercase maintains a lively, slightly quirky texture, with single-storey forms and distinctive diagonals that add character in running text. Numerals are chunky and open enough for display settings, with the set maintaining the same rounded-rectangle logic and forward-leaning stance.
