A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with compact counters that keep the texture dense and high-impact. The letterforms show a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel in their curves and joins, giving the alphabet a lively rhythm rather than a strictly geometric construction. Terminals are generally blunt and smooth, and the figures match the letters in weight and presence for a consistent, poster-ready color on the page.
Best suited to short, high-visibility settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, team or sports branding, packaging, and punchy promotional copy. It performs especially well at medium to large sizes where its rounded forms and strong slant read clearly and deliver maximum impact.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a sporty, retro-leaning voice. Its slanted stance and chunky shapes convey motion and confidence, while the rounded edges keep it approachable and playful rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice with a sense of speed and friendliness. By combining broad shapes, heavy strokes, and softened corners, it aims to be attention-grabbing while remaining approachable for contemporary marketing and retro-inspired graphics.
In text, the dense weight and compact inner spaces create a strong black mass, making word shapes stand out more than fine internal detail. The slant is pronounced enough to read as energetic display styling, and the numerals carry the same robust, rounded character for cohesive headlines and callouts.
