A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, soft-cornered forms and a slightly compressed internal aperture structure. Strokes are thick and uniform in feel, with smooth curves and sturdy joins that keep shapes cohesive at large sizes. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact counters, while the numerals and capitals read as broad, blocky silhouettes with a forward lean. Overall spacing is generous enough to avoid clogging despite the dense black shapes, producing an assertive, poster-like texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence is needed—especially sports, automotive, event, or entertainment contexts. It can also work for packaging callouts and short UI banners, but the dense shapes and oblique stance make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The letterforms project energy and forward motion, combining a sporty, display-driven attitude with a hint of retro advertising flavor. Its weight and slant create a confident, attention-grabbing tone that feels bold, upbeat, and slightly playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and motion through a forward-leaning stance, oversized presence, and rounded, simplified construction. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and high readability at display sizes for energetic, promotional typography.
Round characters like O/0 and the bowls in B/P/R stay smooth and inflated, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y/Z) emphasize the italic rhythm. The design favors strong silhouettes and simplified details over delicate openings, which helps it hold impact in short headlines and marks.
