A heavy, right-slanted sans with broadly rounded bowls and soft terminals that keep the dense weight from feeling harsh. The construction favors simple, geometric curves with minimal stroke modulation, producing a uniform, solid texture. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to stay tight, which boosts impact in display sizes. The forms show slightly varied widths across characters, helping rhythm and spacing feel less rigid despite the boldness.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, and other short-form display settings where maximum impact is needed. It also fits energetic themes such as sports, streetwear, and promotional graphics, and can work on packaging or signage when set with generous spacing. For longer text, it benefits from larger sizes and ample leading to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, with a sporty, headline-forward attitude. The strong slant adds motion and urgency, while the rounded shapes keep the voice approachable rather than aggressive.
Designed to deliver high-impact, motion-driven display typography with a friendly edge. The combination of strong slant, rounded geometry, and tight internal space suggests an emphasis on bold, attention-grabbing messaging in contemporary graphic contexts.
Uppercase letters read clean and blocky, with circular forms (C, O, Q) that stay smooth and consistent. The lowercase maintains the same weighty presence; round letters like a, e, o are notably compact, and straight stems remain sturdy. Numerals are thick and simplified for quick recognition, suited to large-scale use where punch matters more than fine detail.
