A heavy, right-slanted sans with a compact footprint and strongly rounded corners throughout. Letterforms are built from superellipse-like strokes and rounded-rectangle counters, producing soft terminals and a tightly unified silhouette. Curves and straights meet with smooth, radiused joints, while bowls and apertures stay fairly closed, reinforcing a dense, sturdy texture in words. Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and blocky; lowercase keeps simple, single-storey constructions and short extenders, maintaining an even, muscular rhythm across lines. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry and hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and bold logo wordmarks where the compact, rounded forms can read large and strong. It can also work for packaging or merchandising graphics that benefit from a sporty, friendly weight and a distinctly slanted voice.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, forward-leaning motion. The softened corners temper the aggression of the weight, giving it a friendly but competitive feel that reads as modern-retro rather than strictly industrial.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch and motion in display typography, combining a fast italic stance with rounded-rectangle geometry for a distinctive, cohesive texture. The goal appears to be a bold, brand-ready voice that remains approachable through consistently softened corners and simplified forms.
Spacing appears tuned for impact: wide strokes and rounded counters create a dark, continuous color, especially in longer text. The italic slant is consistent and helps the font feel fast without relying on sharp angles; the rounded construction keeps it cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
