A heavy, forward-slanted sans with chunky strokes and softened, rounded corners throughout. Letterforms lean into squarish, slightly condensed interior counters and blocky geometry, while terminals often flare or curl subtly, creating a hand-cut, brushlike finish rather than crisp mechanical edges. Curves are simplified and somewhat angular in places, producing a lively, uneven rhythm; width and spacing vary per glyph, with strong shapes that stay readable at display sizes. Numerals and punctuation match the same bold, tilted construction and compact apertures.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging callouts, and event or club flyers where the bold slanted forms can carry personality. It also works well for retro-leaning sports, arcade, or tech-themed graphics, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, with a retro display flavor that feels sporty and a bit mischievous. Its bouncy slant and chunky silhouettes give it a poster-like attitude—confident, upbeat, and slightly offbeat rather than austere or corporate.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, high-energy display voice by combining slanted, blocky sans structures with softened terminals and slightly irregular proportions. The goal seems to be immediate visual punch and a memorable silhouette rather than neutral, continuous-text economy.
The design relies on distinctive silhouettes and compact counters, so texture can darken quickly in longer passages. The mix of squared structure and softened, almost blobby terminals gives it a recognizable signature that reads as custom and expressive.
