A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and strongly rounded geometry. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with broad curves built from rounded-rectangle forms and tight interior counters. Terminals are blunt and softened, creating a dense, punchy silhouette; diagonals and joins are sturdy and simplified to keep shapes bold at display sizes. Overall spacing and rhythm feel intentionally tight, emphasizing mass and forward motion.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and bold packaging/label applications where the heavy weight and slant can carry the composition. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from compact, rounded, high-energy letterforms.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, poster-like momentum from the pronounced slant and chunky forms. Its rounded construction keeps the voice friendly and playful even while it reads loud and urgent. The overall feel leans retro and action-oriented, suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance while staying approachable through rounded, superellipse-like shaping. It prioritizes bold silhouette, simplicity, and cohesion across letters and numerals for emphatic display typography.
Uppercase forms read especially solid and compact, while lowercase maintains clear, rounded counters and a consistent slanted axis. Numerals match the same dense, softened geometry, helping mixed alphanumeric settings look cohesive in bold messaging contexts.
