A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and full with compact internal counters, producing sturdy silhouettes and strong color on the page. Terminals are blunt and slightly sheared by the slant, and many joins feel smoothly inflated rather than sharply angular. The overall rhythm is wide and headline-oriented, with bold numerals and simplified forms that favor clarity at large sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where its weight and slant can create momentum. It also fits sports or action-oriented branding, bold packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a rounded yet forceful presence.
The font communicates motion and swagger through its pronounced slant and dense, blocky shapes. Its rounded geometry keeps the tone friendly and approachable while still feeling assertive and loud. The result is a sporty, poster-like attitude with a hint of vintage display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, dynamic slant while maintaining a soft, rounded feel. Its simplified, inflated shapes and compact counters prioritize bold visibility and a cohesive, energetic texture in display typography.
Round letters show superelliptical bowls with small apertures, and the punctuation and figures carry the same chunky, simplified styling for consistent texture. The heaviest areas can close up at smaller sizes, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect legibility.
