A heavy, oblique sans with a compact, forward-leaning stance and tall lowercase proportions. Strokes are chunky with noticeable contrast created by tapered joins and sharpened terminals, while corners are softened into rounded rectangles. Many curves are drawn with slightly angular, faceted turns, giving bowls and counters a sculpted, cut-in look. Letterforms vary in apparent width and include occasional ink-trap-like notches at joins, producing a lively rhythm and strong texture in text.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where a bold, kinetic voice is desired. It can work in short subheads or callouts, but the dense color and tight counters make it less ideal for long-running body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and stylized, with a retro display flavor that feels fast and assertive. Its exaggerated slant and blocky weight read as sporty and attention-grabbing, while the softened corners keep it friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, forward-motion display sans with strong impact and a hand-shaped, stylized construction. Its tapered details and sculpted counters suggest a goal of adding character and speed while keeping a broadly sans structure.
Counters are generally small and tightly shaped, which increases darkness and makes the face most comfortable at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same slanted, chunky construction and maintain a cohesive, poster-like presence alongside the alphabet.
