A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, softly squared terminals. Curves are built from large circular and elliptical shapes, giving bowls and counters a smooth, inflated feel, while joins stay clean and sturdy. The stroke weight remains visually even, and the overall rhythm is compact: apertures are relatively tight, counters are small, and spacing reads dense but controlled, contributing to strong color in text. Figures match the letterforms with similarly robust, rounded construction and clear silhouettes.
Well suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, promotions, and branding—especially in sports, streetwear, and energetic consumer packaging. It can also work for punchy UI labels or social graphics where maximum emphasis and quick recognition matter more than long-form reading comfort.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, headline-ready presence. Its slant and thick, rounded forms add momentum and a friendly toughness, evoking contemporary athletic branding with a subtle retro display flavor.
Designed to deliver immediate impact through thick, rounded geometry and a forward-leaning stance, prioritizing bold presence and momentum. The letterforms aim for a friendly but forceful voice that stays legible at display sizes while projecting speed and confidence.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and the shapes favor simplified, high-impact geometry over delicate detail. The bold mass and tight interior spaces can increase visual weight quickly at smaller sizes, making it feel best when given room to breathe.
