A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, sculpted forms. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and slightly tapered joins that give the shapes a molded, punchy look. Counters tend to be compact and circular, and the overall rhythm is dense and dark, producing strong word shapes at display sizes. Numerals and capitals feel robust and geometric, with a consistent forward lean and stable, blocky silhouettes.
Best suited to large-scale applications where impact and immediacy matter, such as headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand marks. It can work well on packaging and promotional graphics where a compact, high-contrast presence in the layout is desirable, especially when short phrases need to feel dynamic.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a friendly, sporty character. Its slant and chunky geometry create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. The overall impression leans retro and promotional, suited to attention-grabbing statements.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning, energetic stance. The rounded, low-detail construction prioritizes quick recognition and strong texture over delicate refinement, aiming for confident display typography that reads as modern-retro and action-oriented.
Spacing appears set to keep letters visually tight and cohesive, reinforcing the solid, poster-like color. Round letters (such as O/o) read as near-circular with thick rings, and the italic angle is consistent across the set, giving lines a strong directional flow.
