A condensed, right-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and gently bulging curves. Strokes stay fairly even, with blunt terminals and soft corners that keep the texture smooth and continuous. Counters are compact and slightly squarish, giving letters like O/C/G a superelliptical feel, while verticals dominate the rhythm for a tall, streamlined silhouette. The design reads as a display face: tight internal spacing and assertive shapes create a strong, energetic line even at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, and branding where the condensed slant can add speed and attitude. It works well for posters, packaging, apparel marks, and sports or entertainment identities, especially when set with generous tracking or used at display sizes.
The overall tone feels retro and kinetic, with a sporty, sign-painted lean and a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It projects confidence and motion without becoming aggressive, landing in a playful mid‑century/arcade-adjacent territory.
The design appears intended to blend a modern, clean sans base with rounded superelliptical forms and an italicized stance, producing a distinctive, high-impact display voice. Its compact width and smooth corners suggest a focus on bold, space-efficient branding and energetic titling.
The slant is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the condensed proportions make word shapes compact and fast-moving. Numerals follow the same rounded, upright-stem logic and appear built for matching headline typography rather than text typography.
