A compact, heavy display sans with broad proportions and rounded, softly squared outer corners. Strokes show clear contrast: verticals read stout while joins and terminals taper into angled or wedge-like cuts, giving counters a sculpted, ink-trap-adjacent feel. Curves are generous and geometric, with large bowls and deep, clean counters that help keep forms open at large sizes. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with single-storey shapes and blunt terminals; dots are large and circular, and the numerals are thick, highly simplified, and built to match the same chunky rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where high impact and quick legibility are needed. It works well for packaging, event graphics, and sports or entertainment applications, and can handle large-scale signage thanks to its sturdy forms and open counters.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a friendly, slightly nostalgic flavor. Its exaggerated weight and tapered cuts add energy and a sporty, poster-like charisma, making it feel more extroverted than neutral.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that combines solid, blocky construction with tapered cuts to add character and motion. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a lively texture that reads as modern-retro and attention-grabbing.
Spacing and interior shapes create a strong, even color in text, while the tapered joints introduce a distinctive texture that becomes more noticeable as size increases. The design favors bold silhouettes over fine detail, emphasizing immediate recognition and impact.
