A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, rounded silhouettes and softened corners. Strokes are thick and consistently weighty, with subtly sculpted curves and a slightly compressed interior rhythm created by tight joins and sturdy bowls. The lowercase shows a tall body with generous counters that keep forms readable despite the mass, while capitals feel wide-set and blocky with smooth, rounded apertures. Numerals are similarly bold and stable, matching the rounded geometry and forward-leaning momentum.
Well suited for bold headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing brand marks where a sense of speed and impact is desired. It also works effectively on packaging and signage that needs high contrast against backgrounds and strong presence at a distance.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, with a sporty, fast-moving feel driven by the strong italic slant and chunky forms. Its rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, giving it a friendly retro-display energy that reads loud and confident.
Likely designed as a high-impact display italic that combines geometric roundness with a dynamic, forward-leaning stance. The intention appears to be maximizing visual punch and momentum while preserving friendly, readable counters and smooth curves.
The slant is pronounced enough to suggest motion, and the thick strokes create strong word shapes in headlines. Rounded details and large internal spaces help prevent the face from clogging at larger sizes, while the density and angle make it best suited to short-to-medium text runs rather than extended reading.
