A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, slightly squarish curves and a compact, forward-leaning stance. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing solid black shapes and small interior counters. Curves are broadly drawn and terminals are clean and blunt, with softened corners that keep the texture from feeling harsh. Letterforms show a lively, mildly irregular rhythm in width and spacing, contributing to a dynamic headline texture.
Best suited to short-form display settings such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold callouts where impact is the priority. It can also work for energetic branding systems and sport-leaning graphics, particularly at medium to large sizes where the rounded details and counters remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a sporty, poster-like attitude. Its rounded massing and pronounced slant read as approachable and energetic rather than formal, giving it a lively, contemporary-retro feel.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice and a sense of motion from the consistent slant. The sturdy, low-contrast construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and quick recognition in attention-grabbing layouts.
The density of the weight and relatively tight counters make the texture feel strong and compact, especially in lowercase. Numerals share the same rounded, punchy construction and hold up well as display figures.
