A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent oblique slant and broad, compact letterforms. Strokes are thick and even, with soft corners and generous curves that keep counters open despite the weight. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, and the overall silhouette feels slightly compressed and forward-leaning, giving the characters a sturdy, continuous rhythm. Numerals and capitals read as solid blocks with smooth shaping rather than sharp geometry.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, brand marks, and campaign graphics where a compact, energetic presence is needed. It can work well on packaging and apparel-style applications, and for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or UI callouts where strong emphasis is desired.
The tone is energetic and approachable, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. Its forward slant and dense color create a sense of motion and immediacy, while the rounded construction keeps the voice friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a modern, rounded sans voice—combining a strong, heavy texture with a built-in sense of motion from the oblique stance. It prioritizes immediate recognition and a friendly, athletic tone for display-centric typography.
The italic angle is prominent enough to function as a defining trait, and spacing appears tuned for display use where tight, impactful setting is desirable. Round letters (like O, Q, e) retain clear internal space, supporting readability at larger sizes while maintaining a strong headline texture.
