A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and consistent with gently modulated joins, producing dense, compact counters and strong black shapes. Terminals tend to be squared-off but radiused, and curved letters lean toward superelliptical bowls rather than perfect circles, giving forms a sturdy, inflated feel. Spacing appears relatively tight and the overall rhythm is punchy, with lowercase showing simplified, sturdy silhouettes and numerals that match the same rounded, blocky logic.
Best suited for headlines and short display lines where its mass and slant can do the work—posters, sports or fitness branding, product packaging, and punchy promotional graphics. It can also function for brief UI callouts or buttons when set large, but the tight interiors make it less ideal for small text or long reading.
The overall tone is bold and high-impact, with a sporty, energetic voice that reads as confident and slightly retro. The rounded geometry keeps it friendly and approachable despite the heavy mass, making it feel more playful than aggressive.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance while staying approachable through rounded, superelliptical forms. It prioritizes bold silhouette recognition and a cohesive, geometric rhythm for attention-grabbing display typography.
The italic slant is pronounced enough to add motion without turning the shapes into cursive forms, so it maintains a distinctly sans, display-first character. The dense counters and thick strokes suggest it will look best when given breathing room and adequate size.
