A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and pronounced internal shaping. Strokes show clear modulation, with rounded joins and soft, scooped terminals that create teardrop-like counters and wedge-cut apertures. Curves are full and swelling, while horizontals and crossbars often taper or notch into the stems, producing an ink-trap-like bite that adds texture. The overall rhythm is compact and chunky, with generous counters for the weight and a consistent, forward-leaning stance across letters and figures.
Best suited to large-scale settings where its carved modulation and wide presence can read clearly—headlines, posters, storefront or event graphics, and bold packaging. It also works well for short UI labels or section headers when a strong, characterful accent is needed, rather than long-form reading.
The tone is energetic and extroverted, blending a sporty display feel with a retro, sign-painted flavor. Its exaggerated weight and sculpted cuts read as confident and attention-seeking, with a slightly humorous, bouncy warmth rather than a hard industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward motion, using sculpted terminals and tapered cuts to keep dense letterforms open and lively. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and brandable texture over neutrality.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and blocky with softened corners, while lowercase shapes lean toward single-storey constructions and bulbous bowls that emphasize momentum. Numerals share the same carved, notched detailing, giving the set a cohesive, branded look that stays legible at large sizes.
