A heavy oblique sans with broadly rounded curves and softly squared terminals. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast, producing compact counters and a strong, solid silhouette. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and the letterforms lean on simple geometric construction—round bowls, open arcs, and sturdy verticals—while maintaining slightly lively, less-than-monoline uniformity in width and spacing. Lowercase shapes are clean and workmanlike, with clear dots on i/j and a single-storey feel in several forms, keeping the overall texture bold and continuous in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and event or sports-related graphics. It also works well for bold captions, price points, and display numerals where punch and immediacy matter more than delicate detail.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, forward-leaning momentum. Rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, giving it a friendly retro vibe that reads as confident and promotional.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, modern sans structure, using an oblique stance to add motion and emphasis. Its rounded geometry and heavy strokes aim for clear, upbeat communication in display-oriented typography.
In running text the heavy weight creates a dark typographic color, so generous leading and slightly expanded tracking can help maintain clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals are chunky and highly visible, suited to at-a-glance reading.
