A heavy, oblique sans with chunky, rounded-rectangle construction and soft, blunted terminals. Counters are generally compact and often squared-off, with pronounced ink traps/inner notches that give many joins a pinched, cut-in feel. Curves are flattened into broad arcs, diagonals are sturdy, and the overall texture is dense and dark, with slightly irregular widths that create a lively rhythm across words. Figures and capitals follow the same blocky logic, staying compact and punchy in silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, event graphics, and packaging where its dense weight and animated slant can carry the composition. It can also work for punchy subheads or calls-to-action, especially when generous spacing and size help preserve counter clarity.
The tone is energetic and extroverted, reading as playful and sporty with a retro display attitude. Its bouncy slant and exaggerated massing feel friendly rather than formal, leaning toward poster and headline voice where impact matters more than restraint.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a friendly, cartoon-like softness, combining a strong oblique stance with blocky forms and distinctive inner cut-ins for memorability. The construction prioritizes silhouette and rhythm to create a recognizable display voice for modern-retro branding and energetic messaging.
The strong rightward lean and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the distinctive notches and squared counters remain clear. The overall impression is deliberately stylized rather than purely geometric, with a dynamic, slightly wavy baseline rhythm in text.
