A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded construction and compact, tightly drawn counters. Strokes are thick and even, with soft, curved joins and subtly tapered/angled terminals that reinforce the forward-leaning motion. The uppercase feels broad-shouldered and stable, while the lowercase shows sturdy, single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and generous bowls that keep forms readable despite the weight. Figures are bold and simplified, with smooth curves and minimal internal detail for high-impact setting.
Best suited to display work where impact matters: headlines, posters, campaign graphics, packaging callouts, and bold branding. It also fits sports and lifestyle contexts, especially for logos, apparel graphics, and short promotional lines where the forward slant and heavy forms can carry the message.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, headline-driven presence. Its rounded geometry keeps the weight from feeling harsh, giving it an approachable, playful edge while still reading as strong and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a fast, forward-leaning stance, combining bold signage-like clarity with rounded, friendly shapes for broad appeal in display typography.
The slant is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a steady diagonal rhythm in text. Apertures and counters are relatively small for the weight, so the face reads best when given enough size and breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
