A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, softened corners and broad, low-contrast strokes that read as solid black shapes. Curves are built from generous circular forms, while joins and terminals are largely blunt and smoothly finished, creating a compact, sturdy silhouette. The x-height is notably tall, with short ascenders and descenders that keep words tight and blocky; counters are moderately open and the overall spacing feels slightly condensed in rhythm despite consistent width across most letters. Numerals and capitals follow the same chunky, rounded construction, maintaining a uniform, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact messaging where its heavy slant and chunky forms can carry personality. It works well for sports and lifestyle branding, retro-inspired graphics, packaging, and promotional materials where a bold, friendly voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and lively, with a sporty, retro-leaning energy that feels confident and playful rather than formal. Its slant and rounded massing give it a sense of motion and friendliness, making headlines feel dynamic and approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a smooth, rounded sans structure and an energetic forward slant, balancing toughness with approachability for display-oriented typography.
In continuous text the font creates a strong, dark typographic color with a pronounced forward drive. The rounded geometry keeps the weight from feeling harsh, but the dense forms and tall lowercase can dominate at smaller sizes, favoring display settings.
