A heavy, slanted sans with large counters, rounded joins, and softly squared terminals that keep the silhouette compact and dense. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls (o, O, 8) paired with broad, flattened horizontals and diagonals that emphasize momentum. The strokes appear monolinear, with minimal modulation, and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and generous dot size on i/j; overall spacing reads slightly tight, reinforcing a bold, blocky rhythm.
Best suited for display typography where impact is needed: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and sports or event graphics. It can work for short bursts of text such as taglines or UI labels when a bold, energetic voice is desired, but its dense weight and tight rhythm favor larger sizes.
The font conveys a strong, energetic tone that feels sporty and promotional, with a friendly softness coming from its rounded construction. Its pronounced slant and chunky forms give it a forward-leaning, action-oriented character that can also read slightly retro in headline settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch while staying approachable, combining a consistent italic stance with rounded, geometric construction. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and quick recognition for promotional and identity-driven typography.
Capitals are wide and stable with prominent bowls (B, D, P, R) and a clean, open C/G structure, helping legibility at display sizes. Numerals are robust and highly geometric, with especially round 0/8/9 shapes that match the letterform logic and maintain a consistent visual color in mixed text.
