A heavy, right-slanted sans with broadly rounded curves and smoothly modeled joins. Letterforms are wide and stable, with a tall lowercase that keeps counters open and legible even at dense settings. Strokes show gentle modulation rather than a perfectly monoline feel, and terminals are clean and blunt, producing a solid, contemporary silhouette. The overall rhythm is energetic: round letters (O, C, G) feel full and pressurized, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are strong and decisive, giving lines a forward sweep.
Best suited to display roles where impact matters: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and promotional graphics. The wide, heavy forms and open counters help it hold up in short paragraphs and large subheads, especially when a strong italic emphasis is desired.
The font reads as assertive and kinetic, with a confident, sporty tone. Its slant and mass create a sense of motion and emphasis, while the rounded construction keeps the voice friendly rather than aggressive. The result feels at home in energetic, attention-seeking design with a slight retro display flavor.
Designed to deliver high-impact typography with a clear sense of motion. The rounded, substantial shapes suggest an intention to balance bold emphasis with approachable clarity, making it effective for modern branding and energetic editorial or advertising layouts.
Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the same rounded, weighty construction as the letters. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting cohesive emphasis in headlines and short text.
