A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, softly squared forms and a distinctly compact, poster-like silhouette. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong black mass. Curves tend toward circular/elliptical bowls, while joins and terminals are blunt and slightly softened, keeping the texture sturdy rather than sharp. Spacing feels tight and rhythmic, and the overall slant gives the face forward motion and a compressed, muscular stance in words and lines.
Best suited to display settings where impact is the priority—headlines, posters, attention-grabbing UI banners, and bold brand marks. It can work well on packaging and sports-themed or youth-oriented graphics, especially when set large with generous line spacing to let the dense shapes breathe.
The tone is energetic and approachable, combining a sporty punch with a slightly retro display feel. Its big, rounded shapes and strong slant read as bold and confident, while the softened corners keep it friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a smooth, rounded construction and an oblique stance that suggests speed and momentum. It prioritizes bold readability and strong silhouette over fine detail, aiming for a contemporary-yet-retro display voice.
Round letters like O/C/S maintain a smooth, consistent curvature, and straight-sided letters retain broad, solid stems that hold up at large sizes. Numerals share the same stout, rounded construction, matching the alphabet’s weight and presence for headlines and short emphatic copy.
