This typeface is a heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, simplified construction. Letterforms lean consistently, with smooth curves and minimal modulation, giving a clean, solid silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are small in places, which reinforces a dense, punchy texture. Terminals are mostly blunt and softly curved, and the overall rhythm is driven by large, stable shapes rather than fine detail.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where impact and momentum are desired. It can work well for packaging, signage, and sports or entertainment graphics, especially when set large and with generous spacing. For long passages, it will be more effective in short bursts or display settings.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, headline-forward presence. Its slanted stance and chunky curves evoke a retro advertising feel while still reading as contemporary and straightforward. The impression is assertive and friendly rather than technical or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with an italicized sense of motion, pairing rounded geometry with a dense, high-impact texture. It prioritizes bold readability and personality for display typography over delicate detail.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the “a”), and the numerals follow the same rounded, weighty logic with strong, simple silhouettes. In running text, the heavy weight and tight counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the shapes have room to breathe.
