A heavily weighted, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and soft, rounded geometry. Strokes are thick with subtly uneven edges that suggest a brushed or inked texture, and curves lean toward squarish, superellipse-like rounds rather than perfect circles. Counters are small and tight, terminals tend to be blunt, and joins are sturdy, creating a dense, high-impact silhouette. The overall rhythm is lively and slightly irregular, prioritizing bold presence over pristine uniformity.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, and bold branding where its compact, slanted forms can create momentum and impact. It also fits packaging and apparel graphics that benefit from a retro-sport or hand-printed feel, and works well for short phrases, labels, and promotional callouts.
The font projects a bold, upbeat personality with a vintage, hand-rendered edge. Its slant and dense forms feel fast and assertive, while the rounded corners keep it friendly rather than harsh. The slight roughness adds a tactile, analog character that reads as casual and expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint, pairing a bold italic stance with rounded, superellipse-like construction. The slightly textured stroke edges suggest an aim toward a hand-inked authenticity while maintaining a clear, sans-based structure for confident display typography.
In running text, the heavy weight and tight counters create a dark texture, so it favors larger sizes and shorter lines. The numerals match the same chunky, rounded-rect feel, keeping the set visually consistent for headlines and callouts.
