A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, softly blunted terminals and dense black strokes. The letterforms lean forward with a smooth, continuous rhythm and slightly irregular, hand-cut energy while staying structurally clean. Curves are full and oval-driven (notably in C/O/Q and the numerals), and joins are broadly radiused, giving counters a compact, sturdy feel. Overall spacing reads fairly tight and cohesive, with a consistent forward slant across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display typography where strong personality and impact are needed—posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging callouts, and punchy editorial features. The weight and slant help it stand out in short text, while the rounded forms maintain clarity in larger sizes.
The font projects a friendly, upbeat tone with a sporty, retro flavor. Its chunky weight and forward motion feel confident and attention-seeking, while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold italic voice with rounded, modern-sans simplicity and a lively, slightly retro motion. It prioritizes instant visual impact and a friendly silhouette for prominent, attention-driven typography.
Lowercase shows single-storey constructions (e.g., a and g) and simplified, rounded shapes that emphasize readability at display sizes. The numerals share the same oval logic and bold presence, making them feel integrated with the alphabet in headlines and short statements.
