A heavy, right-slanted grotesque with broad proportions and rounded, open counters. Strokes stay consistently thick with modest contrast and smooth, slightly swollen curves that keep the texture dark and even in text. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, while joins are sturdy and compact, giving letters a solid, poster-ready footprint. Numerals match the mass and slant, with simplified shapes that prioritize impact over delicacy.
Best suited to display sizes where its mass, slant, and wide stance can read as intentional and energetic—headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand moments. It can work for short bursts of copy, pull quotes, and signage where high visual presence is desired, but will feel heavy for long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, retro-leaning flavor created by the strong slant and chunky forms. Its rounded geometry keeps the boldness friendly rather than harsh, making it feel upbeat and approachable while still commanding attention.
This design appears intended as a high-impact, modern sans for attention-grabbing typography, combining a strong italic momentum with rounded construction to stay friendly and legible at a glance. It emphasizes bold branding and energetic messaging over fine typographic nuance.
In running text the weight and width create a dense rhythm, so spacing and line length become important for comfort. The slant is pronounced enough to add motion on its own, especially in headings, without relying on decorative details.
