A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, rounded curves and blunt terminals that keep strokes feeling solid and continuous. Letterforms lean on simple geometric construction—near-circular bowls, open apertures, and smoothly joined shoulders—while maintaining a slightly condensed, compact footprint in many glyphs. The lowercase shows a tall body with short extenders, giving dense, high-impact word shapes; counters stay fairly open for the weight, and curves dominate over sharp angles. Figures are bold and blocky with rounded influence, matching the letterforms for consistent texture.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, and bold callouts in editorial or digital layouts. It also fits energetic brand applications such as sports identities, event promotions, and packaging fronts where a confident, friendly weight can carry the message quickly.
The overall tone is forceful and upbeat, with a sporty, poster-like punch. Its slant and heavy mass read as forward-moving and assertive, while the rounded shaping keeps it friendly rather than aggressive. The result feels contemporary with a nod to classic athletic and promotional typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a streamlined, geometric sans structure and a built-in sense of motion from the slant. It prioritizes bold readability and a cohesive, rounded texture for attention-grabbing display typography.
In text, the dense rhythm and strong black shape create an even, headline-oriented color that holds together well at larger sizes. The italic angle is consistent and gives lines a sense of momentum; tight interior spaces mean it will look strongest when given adequate size and spacing.
