A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded geometry. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and generously curved bowls that keep the forms smooth despite the strong weight. The italics are built into the letterforms rather than added as an afterthought, giving consistent forward motion across both uppercase and lowercase. Counters are relatively tight at display sizes, and terminals tend to feel blunt and sturdy, producing a dense, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to display typography where weight and motion are assets: headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and bold brand systems. It also fits sports and entertainment graphics, as well as short UI callouts where a friendly but forceful voice is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a bold, sporty confidence. Its rounded shapes and consistent slant read as friendly rather than aggressive, while the mass and width add a lively, retro-leaning impact suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a smooth, modern-rounded finish and a constant forward slant. It prioritizes bold presence and energetic rhythm over delicate detail, making it well adapted to expressive, high-visibility typography.
Diagonal joins and angled cuts are handled in a clean, geometric way, helping maintain clarity in letters like K, V, W, and X. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction, matching the text face well for prominent prices, scores, or callouts.
