A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded forms and tightly enclosed counters that create dense, dark word shapes. Strokes show gentle modulation and softened endings, producing a smooth, slightly inflated silhouette rather than sharp geometric hardness. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with a lively forward rhythm and noticeable width differences between letters (notably in rounded vs. straight-sided shapes). Numerals are bold and sturdy with ample presence, and the overall spacing reads compact and headline-oriented.
Best suited to display typography where impact and momentum are desired—headlines, poster titles, brand marks, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short, large-size editorial pull quotes or promotional copy where a compact, energetic texture is an advantage.
The design reads upbeat and assertive, with a sporty, retro-leaning tone. Its rounded weight and forward slant give it a sense of motion and approachability, balancing impact with a friendly, informal warmth.
Likely intended as a high-impact, forward-leaning sans for attention-grabbing messaging, combining rounded geometry with a strong slant to suggest speed, confidence, and a contemporary-retro flavor.
Uppercase letters maintain simple, sans construction with rounded joins and thick internal spaces that stay legible at display sizes. Lowercase forms are similarly robust, with single-storey-like simplicity and pronounced, ball-like bowls that emphasize a strong texture in paragraphs. The overall color is very dark and uniform, making it most effective when used with generous line spacing.
