A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and confident with moderate contrast, and many joins show subtle notches/ink-trap behavior that keeps counters open at bold sizes. Terminals are typically angled, reinforcing forward motion, while bowls and counters stay broadly squarish rather than purely circular. Uppercase forms are compact and blocky; lowercase has sturdy, slightly condensed shapes with a single-storey a and g and a broad, geometric rhythm across words. Numerals are wide and weighty with consistent slant and large interior apertures for the style.
Best used in large sizes where its mass, slant, and rounded-rect geometry can do the work—headlines, posters, sports and esports identities, product packaging, and bold campaign typography. It also performs well for short UI labels or section headers when a strong, energetic tone is desired.
The font projects speed and impact—bold, competitive, and headline-driven—while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive. Its oblique stance reads energetic and modern with a faint retro athletic flavor, making it feel well-suited to high-intensity messaging and branded statements.
Likely designed as a high-impact display italic that combines geometric, superelliptical forms with practical openness in counters and joins, aiming for strong readability at bold weights while signaling motion and urgency.
The slant is strong and consistent, and the spacing feels tuned for display: tight, cohesive word shapes with clear silhouettes. The superelliptical curves create a distinctive “squared round” personality that stays recognizable even in short labels and large numerals.
