A heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded forms and a distinctly chunky silhouette. Curves are smooth and full, with softly squared terminals and minimal detailing, giving letters a sturdy, inflated feel. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with a forward-leaning stance and simplified geometry that keeps shapes bold and legible at a glance. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction, maintaining a consistent, blocky color across text.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, and high-impact messaging where bold shape and momentum are desirable. It works well for branding in energetic categories (sports, streetwear, events), as well as packaging and promotional graphics that need strong shelf or screen presence. For extended reading, it’s more effective in larger sizes and shorter passages.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a sporty drive with a friendly, slightly retro warmth. Its strong presence reads as promotional and attention-seeking rather than quiet or refined, making it feel extroverted and contemporary with a nod to classic athletic and display typography.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice, pairing a dynamic slant with wide, simplified forms for quick recognition. The construction prioritizes boldness and motion, aiming for strong display performance in modern, commercial contexts.
The slant is pronounced enough to create motion, while the generous width and rounded joins prevent the forms from feeling sharp or aggressive. In longer lines, the dense stroke mass creates a strong typographic “black” that benefits from ample spacing and larger sizes.
