A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded contours and compact internal spaces. The stroke weight is consistently robust, with soft joins and subtly tapered terminals that keep the forms from feeling purely geometric. Counters are relatively small (notably in a, e, o, and 8), and the rhythm is tight, giving the face a dense, punchy texture in words. Curves are smooth and slightly squashed, while diagonals and arms (E, F, T, V, W, X) emphasize forward motion through the italic angle.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where impact and motion are desired: headlines, posters, energetic brand marks, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics. It can also work for bold subheads or UI emphasis, but its dense counters and heavy texture make it less ideal for long body text at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a friendly, approachable softness from the rounded shapes. Its strong slant and dense color suggest speed and emphasis, evoking sporty branding and lively headlines with a mild retro flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, forward-leaning emphasis while staying friendly and readable through rounded construction and consistent, simplified forms. It prioritizes bold presence and a kinetic wordshape for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and compact, while lowercase introduces more bounce and personality, especially in the single-storey a and g and the looping descenders (g, j, y). Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, designed to hold presence alongside letters without appearing delicate.
