A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, softened corners. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, giving a sturdy, poster-like texture, while the italic angle adds forward momentum. Bowls and counters are relatively compact, with generous curves and blunt terminals that keep the silhouettes smooth and cohesive. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, and the numerals are large and weighty, matching the letters for consistent color in display settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-form messaging where impact matters more than fine detail. It fits sports and action-oriented branding, retail promotions, packaging callouts, and bold UI moments like banners or hero text where a confident, energetic voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, with a distinctly sporty, retro-leaning attitude. Its thick forms and pronounced slant communicate urgency and impact, while the rounded shapes keep it friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning, energetic stance, prioritizing a solid, unified texture and friendly rounded geometry for attention-grabbing display typography.
At smaller sizes the dense interior spaces and heavy joins may reduce clarity, but at headline sizes the strong shapes and steady rhythm read with high impact. The slant and width create a strong horizontal sweep that works well for short phrases and emphasis.
