A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, sculpted curves. Strokes feel brush-like but remain clean and solid, with subtly tapered joins and softened terminals that keep the forms cohesive at large sizes. Counters are relatively tight and the overall texture is dense, giving lines of text a strong, continuous rhythm. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and simplified, while lowercase introduces more bounce and asymmetry, adding motion without becoming irregular.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and brand marks that need a loud, fast, approachable voice. It also fits packaging and merchandise applications—especially sporty or retro-leaning concepts—where dense, confident letterforms hold up well at large sizes.
The font reads as energetic and confident, with a friendly, slightly retro advertising tone. Its slant and weight create a sense of speed and emphasis, making it feel sporty and headline-driven rather than reserved or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact emphasis with a smooth, rounded sans skeleton and a consistent italic momentum. It prioritizes bold presence and upbeat character, aiming for immediate readability and strong brand tone in display typography.
The numerals and round letters (such as O/0) are notably full and compact, reinforcing the bold color on the page. The slant is consistent across cases, and the mix of sturdy uppercase with livelier lowercase helps create expressive typographic hierarchy when set in mixed text.
