A heavy, slanted sans with large, rounded bowls and softened corners that keep the dense weight feeling friendly rather than rigid. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and terminals often resolve into subtly angled, wedge-like cuts that add speed and direction. Counters stay fairly open for the weight, producing strong, blocky silhouettes with clear interior space, and widths vary naturally across letters for a lively rhythm in words and headlines. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction, with broad forms and compact apertures designed to read as a cohesive set.
Best suited to display applications where weight and motion are assets—headlines, posters, and large-scale signage. It also fits sports and streetwear branding, product packaging, and punchy logotypes where a bold, energetic presence is needed and short phrases dominate.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a fast, athletic slant and chunky shapes that feel built for impact. Its rounded construction adds approachability, giving it a sporty, retro-leaning voice that suits bold, attention-grabbing messaging without becoming harsh.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed: a robust, rounded sans pushed into a forward-leaning stance and finished with angled terminals to amplify motion. The goal is high visibility and personality for display settings rather than quiet neutrality.
The design emphasizes solid mass and smooth curvature, with diagonal shearing and angled terminals providing much of the character. In running text, the strong slant and heavy forms create a pronounced forward motion and a tight, poster-like texture.
