A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, compact interior spaces. Strokes are thick and uniform, with softly squared terminals and subtle curvature that keeps the shapes feeling buoyant rather than rigid. The uppercase reads sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more bounce and asymmetry (notably in letters like a, g, and y), creating an informal rhythm. Numerals are bold and attention-grabbing, with simplified silhouettes designed to hold up at large sizes.
Best suited to short, high-visibility settings such as headlines, posters, athletic or event branding, and bold packaging statements. It also works well for social graphics and promotional layouts where a compact, emphatic italic voice is needed.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, mixing a sporty forward-lean with friendly, rounded forms. It feels contemporary but with a slight retro display sensibility, giving headlines a confident, high-impact voice without sharp aggression.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward motion, balancing boldness with rounded friendliness. Its sturdy construction and simplified details suggest a focus on display clarity and brandable, energetic wordmarks.
The slant and massing create strong word shapes, and the dense counters can darken in longer text blocks. In the sample, the texture stays punchy and cohesive, with a consistent, slightly bouncy cadence across lines.
