A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded forms and a compact, blocky footprint. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are smoothly curved, giving counters an almost circular feel in letters like O, C, and e. The italic slant is consistent and fairly assertive, while joins and diagonals are simplified into sturdy wedges that keep the overall color dense and even. Lowercase shapes are straightforward and geometric, with open apertures and generous internal space that help maintain clarity despite the weight.
Best suited to large sizes where its weight and slant can do the work—headlines, poster copy, branding lockups, packaging, and punchy campaign graphics. It can also perform as short subheads or callouts when you want a dense, high-impact line without decorative extras.
The tone is energetic and approachable, combining a sporty forward-lean with soft, rounded geometry. It feels bold and confident without becoming aggressive, lending a playful, retro-leaning warmth that suits attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, rounded italic sans that reads quickly and projects momentum. Its simplified geometry and uniform stroke weight prioritize bold presence and consistent texture in display settings.
The figures are thick and graphic, matching the letterforms closely for a cohesive texture in headlines. Spacing appears tuned for display use, with tight, solid letterfit that produces a strong, continuous rhythm in lines of text.
