A heavy, obliqued sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with small apertures and compact counters that give letters a dense, punchy silhouette. Curves tend toward superelliptical forms rather than perfect circles, and terminals are blunt with consistent rounding. The italics are built into the shapes (not a simple slant), producing lively diagonals and a forward-leaning rhythm across words; proportions vary slightly by glyph, enhancing an energetic texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, short slogans, and branding where impact and motion are desired. It works well for sports identity, racing or action-themed graphics, energetic packaging, and bold editorial callouts. In longer text, it’s more effective in brief bursts (captions, labels, UI badges) where its dense color and slanted rhythm remain clear.
The overall tone is bold, sporty, and upbeat, with a retro display feel reminiscent of racing and arcade-era graphics. Its rounded geometry keeps the weight from feeling harsh, making it read as confident and friendly rather than aggressive. The strong slant adds motion and urgency, well-suited to expressive, attention-seeking typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-rect geometry and built-in forward motion. By combining heavy weight, compact counters, and softened corners, it aims to balance toughness with approachability for contemporary display and branding applications.
At smaller sizes, the tight counters and narrow openings in letters like a, e, s, and g may fill in, so it benefits from generous tracking or larger setting. Numerals are sturdy and simplified, matching the squared-round geometry and maintaining a consistent, blocky color on the line. The uppercase has a particularly compact, squared stance, while the lowercase introduces more irregularity and personality in the bowls and joins.
