A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded, compact counters and broad, low-contrast strokes. Curves are smooth and slightly squashed, giving bowls and rounds a dense, sturdy feel, while diagonals and joins are clean and decisive. The overall rhythm is lively, with subtly uneven character widths and a pronounced rightward lean that keeps word shapes dynamic. Numerals share the same robust construction, with simple, legible forms and strong silhouette presence.
Best suited to headlines, short bursts of copy, and branding where a bold, energetic presence is needed. It can work well on posters, packaging, signage, and sports or lifestyle applications, especially when paired with a quieter companion for body text.
The tone is bold and kinetic, reading as sporty and upbeat rather than formal. Its friendly rounding and exaggerated weight create an approachable, poster-like impact, while the italic slant adds motion and urgency suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, energetic slant and rounded, sturdy letterforms that stay friendly rather than aggressive. Its emphasis is on bold silhouette, motion, and immediate readability in prominent sizes.
At display sizes it delivers strong texture and clear word-shape momentum; the dense counters and heavy color can feel packed in longer passages, where spacing and line length will matter. The sample text shows consistent weight and slant across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, headline-driven voice.
