A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded geometry and compact internal counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, graphic silhouette. Terminals are generally blunt and softened, and many letters show slightly exaggerated curves and notches that create a lively rhythm. Numerals and capitals feel broad and stable, while lowercase forms stay sturdy and simple, prioritizing impact over fine detail.
Well-suited for display settings where bold, kinetic typography is needed: headlines, event posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and sports or lifestyle graphics. It can also work for short interface labels or signage when set large enough to preserve clarity in its compact counters.
The overall tone is energetic and punchy, with a friendly softness from the rounded shapes and a sense of motion from the consistent slant. It reads as confident and attention-seeking, leaning toward a sporty or poster-like attitude rather than a quiet, editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded voice—combining strong, simple construction with an energetic slant to suggest speed and modernity. Its forms emphasize recognizability and personality for attention-driven typography.
The italic construction appears drawn rather than mechanically slanted, with shapes that keep their volume and roundness. Tight apertures and small counters in several letters suggest it performs best when given breathing room (moderate tracking and generous line spacing) at larger sizes.
