A very heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded outer curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, solid texture in words. Terminals are mostly blunt or softly rounded, and the letterforms favor simplified geometry over detail. The lowercase is sturdy and slightly compressed, with a single-storey “a” and “g,” a round i/j dot, and a short, strong t; numerals are bold and open, with a simple, readable “1” and a round “0.” Overall spacing feels tight and energetic, reinforcing the strong, poster-like silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and promotional graphics—especially where a forward-leaning, energetic voice is desired. It can work for short callouts or captions at larger sizes, but its dense color makes long passages less comfortable without added spacing.
The tone is energetic and playful, with a sporty, attention-grabbing presence. Its bold slant and chunky shapes evoke retro display typography and casual advertising, reading as confident, informal, and a bit cheeky.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded sans structure and a built-in sense of motion from the consistent slant. It prioritizes bold presence and straightforward readability over delicate detail.
In running text the heavy weight and tight rhythm quickly create a dark, headline-oriented color, so it performs best when given generous tracking and line spacing. The slant is consistent and adds forward motion without becoming overly calligraphic.
