A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smoothly rounded joins. The strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, producing sturdy silhouettes and strong color on the line. Curves are generously rounded and counters are relatively tight, giving letters a compact, punchy feel. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic, with clear, simplified shapes across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, and bold brand statements. The strong weight and rounded shapes also work well for sporty identities, packaging fronts, and signage where immediate impact and legibility at a distance are priorities.
The font reads energetic and assertive, with a sporty, high-impact voice. Its rounded construction keeps the tone approachable rather than aggressive, lending a friendly, retro-leaning dynamism suited to attention-grabbing display settings.
The design appears intended as a bold, forward-leaning sans for display typography, balancing assertive presence with rounded, friendly geometry. It prioritizes visual punch and a cohesive, energetic texture over delicate detail, making it well tailored to branding and promotional use.
Lowercase forms maintain a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable, supporting quick recognition at larger sizes. Numerals match the weight and slant well, with bold, rounded shapes that keep visual consistency in headlines and short data callouts.
