A heavy, slanted sans with rounded corners and compact, chunky forms. The strokes are consistently thick with smooth joins and broadly curved bowls, giving letters a solid, molded silhouette rather than crisp, linear construction. Counters tend to be tight, apertures are relatively closed, and the overall spacing feels dense and poster-like. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, with single-storey shapes where applicable and a generally uniform, geometric rhythm across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, promotions, and logo or wordmark work where a strong silhouette is advantageous. It also fits energetic themes like sports, entertainment, and bold packaging or signage where quick recognition matters more than extended reading comfort.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a forward-leaning motion that reads as energetic and action-oriented. Its rounded, inflated forms keep it friendly rather than severe, making it feel contemporary and attention-grabbing without becoming harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a dynamic slant and rounded, geometric massing. It prioritizes a strong, modern presence and a cohesive, compact rhythm for display typography.
At display sizes the letterforms read strongly, but the heavy weight and tight internal spaces can reduce clarity in longer passages, especially in smaller settings. Numerals match the same compact, blocky construction, reinforcing a cohesive, headline-driven voice.
