A heavy, right-slanted sans with a brush-like construction and clear contrast between thick main strokes and thinner joins. Forms are generally rounded and compact, with softened terminals and occasional tapered ends that suggest a fast, hand-drawn motion. Counters stay fairly open despite the weight, and curves (C, O, S) show a lively, slightly irregular rhythm that keeps the texture from feeling purely geometric. Numerals and capitals read bold and sturdy, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic shaping in letters like a, g, and y.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, logos, and short promotional copy where the bold, slanted rhythm can carry the message. It also fits branding that wants speed and impact—sports, streetwear, entertainment, and energetic packaging. Use with generous tracking and leading if set in longer lines to keep the texture from becoming too dense.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a sporty, headline-forward presence. Its slant and stroke modulation give it a dynamic, vintage-leaning flavor—more like a display brush sans than a neutral workhorse. The feel is friendly but forceful, emphasizing momentum and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, motion-driven display voice: a sans foundation animated by brush-like modulation and a pronounced slant to communicate speed, confidence, and emphasis.
In text, the dense weight and slanted posture create a strong horizontal flow, producing an eye-catching, poster-like color. The contrast and tightened shapes can make long passages feel visually loud, but they heighten emphasis and immediacy for short bursts of copy.
