A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded outer curves paired with flattened, horizontal terminals. Strokes are thick and steady, with subtle modulation that reads more as ink spread than calligraphic contrast. Counters are relatively small and tight, while joins and corners are softened, giving the forms a compact, muscular silhouette. The lowercase is large and sturdy, and the figures are similarly weighty and open in overall shape despite their dense interiors.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where bold, fast-moving emphasis is desired. It works well for sports and lifestyle graphics, energetic campaign materials, packaging callouts, and short promotional copy where strong presence and compact word shapes are an advantage.
The overall tone is loud, confident, and kinetic—designed to feel like it’s leaning forward. Its combination of chunky mass and smooth rounding gives it a sporty, slightly retro flavor while staying approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning stance, balancing chunky weight with rounded, friendly shaping. It prioritizes sign-like clarity and punchy rhythm over delicate detail, aiming for quick recognition and a confident voice in display settings.
The oblique slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping long lines feel unified. The glyphs show a deliberate preference for simplified geometry and sturdy horizontals, which boosts impact at display sizes but makes interior spaces feel tight in small text.
