A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and large, rounded bowls. Strokes stay largely uniform, with softly tapered terminals and a slightly calligraphic, brushed finish that keeps edges from feeling purely geometric. Counters are compact and apertures tend toward closed, giving the letterforms a dense, high-impact silhouette. Curves are smooth and inflated, while joins and diagonals show subtle wedging that adds motion without introducing sharp contrast.
Best suited for headlines, short blurbs, logos, and promotional typography where impact and motion are priorities. It works well on posters, packaging, and sporty or entertainment-oriented branding, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the dense counters and tight rhythm remain clear.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, headline-driven presence. Its slant and chunky forms suggest speed and momentum, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. Overall it reads as bold, promotional, and slightly retro in spirit.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a dynamic italic stance, combining rounded, low-detail shapes with slightly tapered terminals for a lively, contemporary display feel. It prioritizes bold messaging and visual momentum over text-size neutrality.
Spacing appears tight and display-oriented, with the heft causing interior spaces to fill in quickly at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction, and the overall rhythm emphasizes mass and forward movement more than precision or delicacy.
