A heavy, slanted sans with chunky, somewhat irregular silhouettes and softly rounded corners. Letterforms are built from broad, low-contrast strokes with compact interior counters, giving the shapes a dense, inked-in look. The geometry leans toward squared-off bowls and terminals, but with subtle wobble and unevenness that keeps the rhythm lively. Uppercase forms read as sturdy and block-like, while the lowercase keeps simple constructions with single-story forms and a generally compact, utilitarian feel. Numerals match the weight and stance, staying bold and poster-friendly with minimal detailing.
Best suited for headlines and short, emphatic messaging where bold presence and motion matter—such as sports-themed branding, event posters, promotional graphics, and packaging callouts. It can also work for apparel graphics or social media tiles where large type and high contrast with the background are available.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, with a sporty, poster-like punch. Its slant and chunky massing suggest motion and impact, while the softened corners and slightly roughened shapes keep it approachable rather than mechanical.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, slanted display sans that prioritizes energy and immediacy over refinement. Its chunky construction and soft corners aim to feel loud, friendly, and attention-grabbing in branding and advertising contexts.
The strong fill and tight counters make it most comfortable at display sizes, where the distinctive, brawny shapes and forward lean are easiest to read. The sample text shows a lively texture in longer lines, though the dense interiors can cause characters to visually merge at smaller sizes or in tight settings.
