A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, compact bowls and blunt terminals that keep the silhouette dense and high-impact. Curves are smooth and generously filled, while joins and corners stay slightly softened rather than sharp, producing a sturdy, rubbery feel. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the a and g) with a lively, somewhat bouncy rhythm; counters are tight but remain open enough for clear word shapes at display sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, designed to read as a cohesive set with the letters.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-scale messaging where its weight and slant can drive emphasis and motion. It also fits branding, packaging, and apparel or sports-themed graphics that benefit from a bold, friendly, high-energy voice. For longer passages, it will generally perform better in short blurbs or callouts than in continuous reading.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. Its slant and chunky proportions give it momentum and a playful, retro energy, making it feel assertive without becoming harsh or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate visual punch through a dense black footprint, rounded construction, and forward-leaning stance. It prioritizes bold personality, momentum, and approachable geometry for attention-driven display typography.
The strong rightward lean and dense strokes make it most convincing in short bursts, where the shapes read as graphic blocks with smooth curvature. Spacing appears tuned for impact rather than airy text flow, and the rounded geometry helps maintain friendliness despite the heavy color on the page.
