A very heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and curves are built from smooth, near-circular geometry that keeps counters open despite the weight. Terminals are mostly blunt and simplified, and joins feel sturdy and compact, giving the letters a dense, poster-like color. The overall rhythm is energetic, with a forward-leaning stance and slightly soft corners that prevent the shapes from feeling rigid.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large typographic statements where its weight and slant can drive emphasis. It also fits sports branding, bold packaging callouts, and compact logotypes that want an energetic, friendly impact.
The tone is bold and upbeat, combining a retro display attitude with an athletic, action-forward feel. Its rounded construction keeps it approachable, while the mass and slant add urgency and confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning, rounded sans voice—optimized for attention-grabbing display typography while staying approachable through softened, circular forms.
At display sizes it reads as a unified, high-impact voice; the dense weight and slant can make tight settings feel busy, so it benefits from comfortable tracking and generous line spacing. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded build and maintain a consistent presence alongside capitals and lowercase.
