A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, softened corners. Strokes are largely monolinear, creating a dense, high-impact texture, while counters remain compact and simplified for solidity. Curves are generously rounded (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of a/b/p), and joins feel sturdy and geometric rather than calligraphic. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly condensed in the interior spaces, with consistent slant and clean, unadorned endings throughout.
Best suited for large sizes where its weight and slant can do the work: headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and brand marks that need a bold, energetic voice. It also fits sports and entertainment design, as well as packaging or signage where quick recognition and strong presence are priorities.
The font conveys speed and momentum through its pronounced slant and hefty mass, reading as assertive and attention-grabbing. Its rounded geometry keeps the tone friendly rather than aggressive, giving it a sporty, poster-ready feel with a subtle retro flavor.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display italic that maximizes presence while staying approachable through rounded geometry and simplified, geometric construction. It prioritizes bold silhouette and motion over fine detail, aiming for clear, emphatic communication in short text.
Uppercase forms appear built for impact, with stable, blocky silhouettes and minimal detail. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and the numerals follow the same thick, rounded construction for a unified, display-forward set.
