A very heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, compact forms and broad, low-contrast strokes. Curves are generous and bulbous, counters are relatively tight, and joins are smooth, producing a dense, ink-rich silhouette. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly angled, while diagonals and bowls keep a consistent forward lean that creates an assertive rhythm. The lowercase shows single-storey constructions (notably a and g) and simplified geometry, and the numerals are large and sturdy with rounded interior spaces.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging, and bold editorial callouts. It performs well in short phrases, wordmarks, and high-impact typographic layouts where a strong, forward-leaning voice is desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and upbeat, with a sporty, poster-like presence that reads as confident and approachable. The strong weight and continuous slant add motion and urgency, while the rounded shapes keep it friendly rather than aggressive. It evokes classic display typography used for attention-grabbing headlines and bold, informal branding.
The font appears intended as a bold, attention-first display sans that combines strong mass with rounded shapes to stay friendly and readable at large sizes. Its consistent slant and compact construction suggest a goal of conveying motion and impact for branding and promotional typography.
At text sizes the tight apertures and dense counters can reduce clarity, but the weight and slant hold together well in short bursts. The design’s consistent forward movement makes it especially effective when set with ample tracking or in stacked lines where the rhythm can breathe.
