A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, inflated counters. Curves are smooth and largely geometric, with minimal stroke modulation and soft joins that keep forms cohesive at display sizes. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a forward-leaning rhythm; terminals are mostly blunt and slightly angled, and the overall spacing reads tight and compact for such a large footprint.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format typography where strong silhouettes and a sense of motion are desirable. It works well for branding and packaging that needs bold, friendly impact, and for sports or event graphics where a dynamic slant helps convey energy.
The tone is assertive and high-impact, with a forward motion that suggests speed and enthusiasm. Its chunky, rounded construction keeps it friendly rather than severe, giving it a sporty, attention-grabbing voice suited to bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a consistent forward slant and rounded, geometric construction. It prioritizes bold presence and fast recognizability in display settings, aiming for an energetic, contemporary feel.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and blocky with generous interior shapes, while lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey feel where applicable and keeps counters open enough to remain recognizable under heavy weight. Numerals follow the same stout, leaning logic, emphasizing strong silhouettes and quick scanning over fine detail.
