A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and generously rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with closed counters kept relatively small, producing a dense, high-ink silhouette. Curves are built from broad, smooth arcs and softened joins; terminals tend to be blunt and slightly sheared by the slant. The overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with simplified, highly legible shapes that favor bold presence over delicate detail.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, condensed presence is needed. The bold, rounded slant works well for sports identities, energetic promotions, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a dynamic, friendly voice.
The tone is upbeat and assertive, combining a sporty forward motion with a friendly, approachable softness. Its rounded construction keeps the weight from feeling harsh, while the slant adds urgency and momentum. The result reads as confident, lively, and slightly retro in spirit.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while preserving a soft, modern feel. The rounded geometry and consistent stroke weight suggest an emphasis on clarity and reproducible shapes for display typography, with the italic stance providing a built-in sense of motion.
Uppercase forms feel compact and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, rounded flow that supports short bursts of text. Numerals are bold and clean with simple geometry, suited to prominent display settings where quick recognition matters.
