A heavy, rounded sans with superellipse geometry and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes are thick and even with softly squared terminals, producing a chunky, block-like silhouette while keeping corners smooth. Counters are compact and rounded-rectangular, and several joins show subtle notch-like shaping that reads as functional ink-trap behavior at small sizes. Uppercase forms are wide and sturdy, lowercase is similarly robust with single-storey a and g, and figures are broad with simplified, high-impact shapes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and logo marks where its dense strokes and rounded-rectangular construction read clearly. It also fits energetic brand systems (sports, gaming, youth-oriented products) and bold packaging or signage that benefits from a friendly but forceful typographic voice.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, combining a sporty, display-forward presence with a retro, arcade-like friendliness. Its rounded massing keeps it from feeling aggressive, while the slant adds speed and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, dynamic slant, using superellipse-based rounds and softened corners to keep the mass approachable. The notched joins and compact counters suggest an emphasis on maintaining clarity and distinct shapes in bold display sizes.
The rhythm is driven by large black shapes and tight internal spaces, creating strong word silhouettes and high contrast against the page. The sample text shows confident performance in short lines and headings where the rounded corners and notched joins add character without becoming decorative.
