A compact, oblique sans with heavy, rounded strokes and smooth, continuous curves. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are moderately open, giving letters a solid, punchy color while staying legible. Terminals are largely rounded or softly cut, and the shapes lean on circular/elliptical geometry for bowls and curves, with minimal visible modulation. The uppercase reads sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase is dense and compact, reinforcing a strong rhythm in text and headlines.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It works well on packaging and promotional graphics, and can be effective for sports- and activity-oriented identities. For longer passages, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes where its compact counters and dense color have room to breathe.
The overall tone is lively and upbeat, with a casual, kinetic slant that suggests motion. Its rounded construction keeps it approachable, while the weight and compactness add confidence and impact. The result feels sporty and slightly retro, suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, fast-moving sans for display use, combining rounded forms with an oblique stance to convey momentum and friendliness. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and consistent, geometric curves to create a cohesive, modern-retro feel across letters and numerals.
Figures are similarly sturdy and rounded, matching the letterforms for consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. Diagonals and joins stay clean and simple, favoring bold silhouettes over delicate detail, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes.
