A heavy, rounded sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact proportions. Strokes are thick and smooth with soft, swollen terminals and minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a uniform, inky presence. Curves are broad and simplified, counters are relatively tight, and joins are clean and sturdy, producing a dense rhythm in text. Overall spacing feels compact, with forms that read clearly at display sizes while maintaining a cohesive, energetic silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It works well for sports and lifestyle graphics, punchy packaging, and promotional typography, especially when set large or in short bursts where its dense weight and slant can carry the message.
The tone is bold and upbeat, leaning sporty and informal rather than corporate. Its slanted stance and bulbous shapes suggest motion and friendliness, with a subtle retro headline feel that reads as confident and attention-seeking.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded construction and a dynamic slanted posture. The goal appears to be a legible, high-energy display sans that feels approachable while still reading as strong and assertive.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and rounded, while lowercase shapes remain simple and direct, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings. Numerals match the same soft, thick construction, reinforcing a cohesive look for headings that include dates or scores.
