A compact, right-slanted sans with heavy, rounded strokes and softly sheared curves. The letterforms show a lively, slightly irregular rhythm: bowls are plump, counters are relatively small, and joins often appear subtly pinched, giving the shapes a hand-cut or brush-leaning feel despite the overall sans construction. Terminals are generally rounded or blunt rather than sharp, and the slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Spacing reads tight and energetic, with forms designed to hold together as a bold, cohesive texture.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where a bold, energetic voice is desirable—headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and apparel graphics. It can also work for punchy callouts or signage, but the compact, heavy texture is likely to feel dense in long body text.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a vintage sports and mid-century display vibe. Its buoyant slant and rounded heft feel friendly and animated, suggesting motion and confidence rather than precision or restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, friendly display sans with a strong forward slant and softened geometry—prioritizing impact, motion, and approachability in large sizes.
Capitals and numerals are especially sturdy and headline-oriented, while the lowercase keeps the same forward-leaning momentum and rounded finishing. The ‘0’ is oval and prominent, and the numerals maintain the same chunky, slightly softened geometry as the letters, reinforcing a unified, poster-friendly color.
