A heavy oblique sans with broad proportions and compact internal spaces. Letterforms are built from sturdy, rounded geometry with smooth curves and blunt terminals, paired with slightly squared joins that keep the shapes crisp. The slant is consistent and forward-leaning, giving the rhythm a strong directional flow. Rounded bowls (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) are full and stable, while diagonals and arms (K, R, X, Y) are thick and simplified, emphasizing mass over detail. Numerals share the same bold, rounded construction and read as cohesive display figures.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, banners, and promotional graphics. Its energetic slant and hefty shapes also fit sports-themed branding, packaging callouts, and large-format signage where bold, fast-moving emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a playful bounce created by the combination of strong weight, wide stance, and consistent slant. It feels sporty and promotional, leaning toward a retro headline sensibility rather than a neutral, text-first voice.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, forward-motion display typography with friendly rounded geometry. It prioritizes presence and rhythm in large settings, aiming for immediate readability and a confident, energetic voice.
Tight apertures and counters are a defining feature at this weight, which increases impact but can reduce clarity in smaller sizes. The oblique angle and broad shapes create strong word silhouettes, especially in short phrases and all-caps settings.
