A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, inflated counters. Strokes feel carved from thick wedges, with frequent angled terminals and slight shearing that produces a forward-leaning, kinetic texture. Curves are smooth and sturdy (notably in C, O, S, and 8), while diagonals and joins are blunt and compact, giving the overall silhouette a muscular, poster-friendly density. The lowercase shows a tall, dominant body with short extenders and simple, single-storey forms, keeping the rhythm bold and even at display sizes.
Best suited for large-scale applications where impact matters—headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and bold branding moments. It also works well for short bursts of text in advertising or packaging where a dynamic, energetic voice is desired.
The tone is assertive and high-impact, with a sporty, headline-driven attitude. Its slant and chunky shapes add momentum and a touch of fun, reading as upbeat and promotional rather than formal or restrained.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines rounded construction with a strong forward slant to communicate speed and confidence. It prioritizes bold presence and clear silhouettes over delicate detail, aiming for attention-grabbing typographic color in branding and promotional settings.
Round letters retain generous interior space despite the weight, which helps keep counters open in words and numerals. The design mixes soft circular forms with sharply cut edges, creating a distinctive blend of friendly roundness and aggressive forward motion.
