A compact, right-slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded, softly squared contours. Curves are broad and smooth, with subtly bracketed joins and terminals that feel cut and slightly tapered rather than perfectly geometric. Counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is dense and forward-leaning, giving the letters a strong, continuous texture in text. Figures are sturdy and simple, matching the letters’ weight and slant for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where a strong, forward-leaning voice is desired. It can also work for short bursts of text—labels, pull quotes, and UI highlights—when you want emphasis and a compact footprint.
The tone is energetic and informal, with a sporty, vintage-leaning flavor. Its bold, slanted stance suggests motion and emphasis, while the rounded shaping keeps it friendly rather than aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, motion-driven sans voice that feels friendly and approachable while still reading with authority. The compact proportions and rounded construction suggest a focus on impactful display typography that remains legible and cohesive across letters and numerals.
In the uppercase, the silhouettes read as clean and sign-like, while the lowercase introduces more character through rounded bowls and compact apertures. The design maintains consistent stroke weight and curvature across the alphabet, helping it hold together well at larger sizes where its shaping and slant become a primary stylistic feature.
