A compact, right-slanted sans with heavy, rounded strokes and tight interior counters. Letterforms are built from smooth curves and blunt terminals, with a slightly bouncy rhythm created by angled joins and subtly varied widths across the set. The overall texture is dense and dark, with sturdy shapes that keep their silhouettes clear even in narrow proportions. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, matching the alphabet’s compact, forward-leaning stance.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can work for brief subheads or captions at moderate sizes, but the dense color and tight counters make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, retro-leaning feel. Its thick, slanted forms read as fast and upbeat, giving headlines a confident, attention-grabbing voice without feeling sharp or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a condensed stance with a strong slant to suggest motion. Rounded construction and blunt terminals soften the heaviness, aiming for a friendly, high-energy display voice.
Round letters like O/C/Q show generous curvature and a compact aperture, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) feel muscular and tightly constructed. The lowercase has a friendly, informal flavor, with single-storey-style simplicity and small counters that reinforce the bold, poster-like color on the page.
