A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded, slightly compressed bowls and softened corners that keep the mass feeling smooth rather than rigid. Strokes are broadly uniform with subtle modulation, and many joins are carved with angled cuts that create a dynamic, chiseled rhythm. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s, while round forms (o, O, 8, 9) stay full and circular, helping the design read bold and cohesive. The overall spacing and proportions favor impactful headlines, with sturdy shapes and a consistent rightward momentum across letters and numerals.
Best used at large sizes where its bold mass and tight counters remain clear and intentional. It works well for headlines, posters, sports and streetwear branding, punchy packaging, and logo wordmarks where a sense of speed and confidence is desired. For longer passages, generous line spacing helps maintain readability.
The tone is energetic and extroverted, with a sporty, poster-like attitude. Its rounded geometry and chunky weight give it a friendly approachability, while the slant and sharp internal cuts add speed and punch. The result feels retro-leaning yet contemporary, suited to attention-grabbing branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning silhouette while staying approachable through rounded forms. It balances smooth curves with angular cut details to create a distinctive, high-energy display texture.
Numerals are built with the same compact, rounded logic as the letters, keeping texture even in mixed alphanumeric settings. The italic construction appears more like an intentionally oblique display design than a subtle text italic, emphasizing motion and impact.
