A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded, superellipse-like construction. Strokes are thick and broadly uniform, with softened corners and generously curved bowls that keep counters open despite the weight. Terminals tend to look sheared or angled in keeping with the italic slant, giving a forward-leaning rhythm and a slightly “cut” finish on horizontals and diagonals. Overall spacing is tight and energetic, and the numerals share the same chunky, rounded geometry with sturdy, simplified forms.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short display lines where its weight and slant can carry impact. It also fits energetic branding—sports, streetwear, entertainment—or packaging and labels that need a friendly but assertive voice.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a sporty, poster-like presence. Its rounded shapes and compact heft feel friendly and approachable, while the strong slant adds momentum and attitude.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch in limited space, pairing heavy strokes with rounded construction for approachability. The italic stance and angled terminals suggest an intent to convey speed and dynamism while staying clean and contemporary.
The design leans on broad, rounded shapes rather than sharp joins, which helps large headlines feel cohesive and smooth. The most distinctive impression is a combination of thick massing, soft corners, and consistently angled terminals that reads well from a distance.
