A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent superelliptical construction: squared-off counters and terminals are softened by generous corner radii, producing a blocky yet smooth silhouette. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and short, blunted terminals throughout. The design is set on an oblique angle, and many letters show slightly asymmetric shaping to keep forms open (notably in bowls and apertures). Counters tend to be rounded-rectangular, and spacing feels intentionally compact, creating dense, high-impact word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography where impact and personality are needed—headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging, and bold branding. It can also work for large UI labels in entertainment or sports contexts, where its compact spacing and strong silhouettes remain readable at a distance.
The overall tone is bold, upbeat, and approachable, with a sporty, game-like energy. Its rounded geometry and hefty rhythm read as friendly rather than aggressive, lending a retro headline feel that suggests motion and momentum.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch with a rounded, contemporary geometry—combining a dense, black texture with softened corners and an oblique stance to convey speed, friendliness, and modern retro flair.
Uppercase forms are broad and sturdy with simplified joins, while lowercase maintains similarly chunky proportions and clear differentiation (single-storey-style shapes where applicable, and squared counters). Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, staying highly legible and weighty in texture. The oblique slant is integral to the design rather than a simple mechanical skew, helping maintain consistent stroke presence and balance across glyphs.
