A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded outer forms. Strokes are full and smooth with subtly tapered joins, producing a lively rhythm rather than a rigid geometric feel. Counters run relatively tight in letters like B, P, R, a, e, and s, while curves stay generous, especially in O/0 and C. The lowercase shows a single-story a and g, a round i/j dot, and an overall compact, chunky construction that remains consistent across letters and figures.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where impact and motion are desired. It also fits sports or action-oriented branding, bold packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from strong, rounded letterforms. For longer text, it will read best with generous size and spacing to keep counters from feeling crowded.
The tone is energetic and emphatic, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests speed and momentum. Its rounded weight and bouncy shapes add a friendly, slightly retro athletic flavor, making it feel more like a display voice than a neutral workhorse.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a fast, athletic slant and friendly rounded forms. It prioritizes punchy silhouettes and a dynamic texture over quiet neutrality, aiming to stand out quickly in display contexts.
Numerals are sturdy and attention-grabbing, with clear, rounded silhouettes; the 8 is especially compact and bold. The italic angle is pronounced, and the thick strokes can cause smaller internal spaces to fill in at reduced sizes, reinforcing its best use at larger settings.
