A rounded, oblique sans with smooth, superelliptical curves and gently squared counters. Strokes stay even and heavy, with broad terminals and softened corners that keep the texture dark but controlled. Proportions are compact with sturdy uppercase forms, a clean mid-height crossbar on A, and rounded bowls on B/P/R that read as slightly rectangular rather than circular. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey construction (notably a and g), short ascenders/descenders, and open apertures that preserve clarity despite the weight. Numerals are similarly rounded and robust, with wide, stable shapes and consistent stroke endings.
Best suited for branding, packaging, posters, and punchy headlines where a bold, rounded voice is needed. It also fits sports and lifestyle graphics, apparel marks, and short UI/hero text where its slant and soft geometry can add energy without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a sporty, retro-leaning slant that suggests motion and confidence. Its soft-corner geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, making it feel contemporary yet reminiscent of classic athletic and automotive graphics.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, modern display presence with a sense of speed and friendliness. The superelliptical construction and softened terminals suggest an intention to feel engineered and contemporary while staying approachable and highly legible in bold settings.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create momentum in long lines, while the generous internal spaces in letters like e, s, and 8 help maintain legibility at display sizes. Curves and joins are consistently rounded, giving the font a cohesive, engineered feel rather than a handwritten one.
