A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and tightly packed counters that create a dense, high-impact texture. Strokes are smooth and rounded at key joins, with a mix of circular bowls (C, O, e) and flattened terminals that keep the forms sturdy and graphic. Diagonals and curves are strongly emphasized, giving the alphabet a forward-leaning rhythm; apertures are relatively small, and interior spaces stay compact even in letters like a, e, s, and g. Figures follow the same chunky, rounded construction for a cohesive, display-oriented set.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where bold, energetic emphasis is needed. It works well for posters, packaging, apparel graphics, and sports or entertainment identities, especially when set large with enough breathing room. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable in brief bursts such as pull quotes, hero copy, or UI banners.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, headline-ready presence. Its rounded geometry and bouncy slant also add a friendly, approachable feel that reads as contemporary with a hint of retro poster flavor.
The design intent appears to be a highly legible, attention-grabbing sans that combines sturdy, rounded construction with a pronounced slant to suggest motion and confidence. It prioritizes impact and strong silhouette over delicate detail, aiming for a bold voice that remains approachable.
Spacing appears generous at the glyph level, but the weight and compact counters keep words visually solid, producing strong word shapes at large sizes. The design favors smooth, continuous curves over sharp calligraphic modulation, which helps maintain consistent color across lines of text.
