A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are thick and even with minimal contrast, and terminals tend to end in blunt, slightly angled cuts that reinforce the forward slant. Counters are compact and rounded, producing a dense, high-impact texture, while bowls and arches read as superelliptical rather than purely circular. The overall rhythm is tight and steady, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that keep forms bold and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display typography where weight and slant can do the work—posters, sports and event branding, punchy logos, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics. It can also be effective for subheads or emphasis lines when paired with a calmer text face.
The design feels energetic and extroverted, combining a sporty forward motion with approachable, softened geometry. Its chunky shapes and rounded corners add a friendly, playful tone, while the strong slant and weight give it a confident, promotional voice.
Likely intended as a high-impact display italic that merges rounded superelliptical geometry with a bold, athletic stance. The goal appears to be immediate attention and a friendly, modern-retro feel without decorative extras.
In the sample text, the oblique angle and dense spacing create a fast, headline-driven cadence that stands out in short phrases. The numerals and uppercase maintain the same rounded, compact logic, helping the set feel cohesive across mixed-case and figures.
