A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, bulging forms and a lively forward lean. Strokes stay broadly even, with gentle modulation and softened corners that create a smooth, almost inflated silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and the joins are sturdy, producing dense, high-impact lettershapes; some interior corners appear slightly notched, helping prevent clogging at this weight. The lowercase shows a tall, prominent body and the numerals are robust and simple, matching the overall blocky rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, and short bursts of copy where maximum presence is desirable. It fits branding and packaging that want a bold, kinetic voice, and it works well for sports, action, or promotional graphics where slanted emphasis suggests speed and momentum.
The font conveys motion and impact—confident, sporty, and a bit retro in its rounded heft. Its slant and compact, muscular shapes read as energetic and attention-grabbing, with a friendly softness from the curved terminals.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, fast, modern display voice: thick, rounded forms for mass and friendliness, paired with a pronounced italic slant for motion and urgency. The overall construction prioritizes impact and readability at large sizes, with small internal notches helping maintain clarity in tight spaces.
In the sample text, the combination of tight counters and strong slant creates a dark, continuous texture; it performs best when given generous leading and a bit of tracking to keep lines from feeling compressed. The rounded shapes keep it approachable despite the forceful weight, making it suitable for bold messaging rather than long-form reading.
