This typeface uses heavy, rounded letterforms with a consistent slant and broadly oval counters. Curves are smooth and full, with softly finished terminals and minimal stroke modulation, creating a sturdy, uniform texture. Proportions lean wide and compact, with generous bowls and tight interior spaces that become more pronounced at smaller sizes. The overall rhythm is lively, with slight forward-leaning momentum and buoyant shapes across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for display settings where impact and momentum matter, such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and sports or lifestyle branding. It can also work for bold packaging callouts and logo wordmarks, especially when set with ample tracking to preserve counter clarity.
The font feels bold and upbeat, combining a sporty forward motion with a friendly, approachable softness. Its chunky silhouettes and rounded geometry suggest a retro display tone that reads as confident and playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a dynamic, forward-leaning voice, using rounded, compact forms to keep the tone friendly while maintaining strong presence in short text.
Distinctive details include a single-storey lowercase “a” and “g”, a rounded, compact “e” with a small aperture, and numerals that echo the same bulbous, slanted construction. The italic angle is visually integral rather than an afterthought, giving words a continuous, racing-strip flow.
