A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, compact counters. Strokes stay essentially monoline, with smooth curves and softened joins that keep forms friendly despite the weight. The italic angle is strong and consistent, giving letters a forward lean and a fast, energetic rhythm. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and simplified; lowercase forms lean into rounded bowls and short apertures, with a single-storey feel in key letters and a generally compact internal space.
Best suited to headlines, short calls-to-action, and logo or wordmark work where a strong slanted silhouette is desirable. It also fits packaging, signage, and promotional graphics that benefit from bold impact and a lively, motion-forward texture.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, poster-ready presence. Its rounded heft and pronounced slant add a playful retro flavor while still feeling contemporary and straightforward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic italic stance and approachable rounded construction, prioritizing punchy readability and strong word shapes in display contexts.
At display sizes the dense counters and tight apertures read as intentional, creating dark, impactful word shapes. The numerals and capitals match the same bold, rounded construction, keeping an even texture across mixed-case settings.
