A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, softly chamfered corners. Strokes are consistently thick and even, with compact inner counters that stay clear at display sizes. Curves (O, C, G) feel smooth and slightly squashed horizontally, while straight strokes carry a subtle sheared geometry that reinforces the italic momentum. The overall rhythm is dense and energetic, with sturdy joins and a cohesive, highly graphic silhouette across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold brand marks. The energetic slant and rounded weight also fit sports and lifestyle branding, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where a fast, upbeat voice is desired.
The font projects a bold, sporty attitude with an approachable, friendly warmth. Its rounded massing keeps the tone playful rather than severe, while the italic slant adds speed and assertiveness. The result feels contemporary and attention-seeking—built to signal impact and motion.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of motion, combining a heavy, rounded sans structure with an italic lean. The emphasis appears to be on high-visibility communication—creating a strong, friendly presence that stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Numerals share the same chunky, rounded construction and read as cohesive with the caps and lowercase. The lowercase shows single-storey forms where applicable and maintains a tight, upbeat texture in running lines, with the slant creating strong directional flow in headlines.
