A heavy, right-leaning sans with rounded outer corners and subtly tapered strokes that create a lively, brush-like rhythm. Shapes are broad and blocky, with compact interior counters and generous curves in letters like C, O, and S. Terminals tend to feel cut or slightly sculpted rather than mechanically flat, and the overall texture reads dense and emphatic with noticeable letter-to-letter width variation.
Best suited for short, prominent text where its weight, slant, and width variation can add character—headlines, posters, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for energetic editorial display settings, especially when set with ample spacing and comfortable line height.
The tone is upbeat and attention-grabbing, with a vintage display energy that feels sporty and informal. Its chunky forms and jaunty slant suggest fun, motion, and a casual confidence rather than a strictly neutral voice.
The design appears intended as an expressive display sans that blends chunky geometry with softened corners and an italicized forward motion. Its sculpted terminals and compact counters prioritize bold silhouette and personality for branding and headline use.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and poster-ready, while the lowercase introduces more bounce and personality (notably in a, g, y, and s). Numerals are bold and rounded with strong silhouette clarity, favoring impact over fine detail at small sizes.
