A heavy, right-leaning sans with rounded terminals and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with smooth curves and subtly squared-off counters that keep shapes compact and dense. The italics are built into the letterforms rather than being a simple slant, giving capitals and lowercase a lively, forward-tilting rhythm. Apertures tend to be moderate, bowls are generous, and joins are sturdy, creating a solid silhouette that stays legible at display sizes. Numerals share the same robust, rounded construction and consistent weight, with tight internal spaces that emphasize bold presence.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where impact and momentum are needed—headlines, posters, sporty brand marks, product packaging, and bold signage. It can work for brief callouts or UI labels when set large enough to preserve its tight counters and strong slanted rhythm.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a sporty, retro-leaning confidence. Its rounded, chunky forms feel friendly rather than aggressive, while the built-in slant adds motion and urgency suited to dynamic messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a sense of speed and friendliness, balancing chunky geometry with rounded finishing. The goal appears to be a versatile display italic that reads as energetic and modern-retro without relying on sharp edges or high contrast.
Letterforms show a compact, slightly condensed feel in the counters and spacing, producing strong word-shapes in headlines. The lowercase has a sturdy, almost “stamped” consistency, and several shapes hint at ink-trap-like notches or tightened inner corners that help maintain clarity in heavy strokes.
