A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and compact, tightly enclosed counters. Letterforms are built from chunky strokes with rounded outer curves and frequent wedge-like terminals, giving straight strokes a slightly faceted, cut-in feel rather than crisp geometric endings. Curves are generous and smooth in characters like C, G, O, and S, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, Y, and Z are thick and assertive, producing a strong forward rhythm. The lowercase is large and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders relative to the tall x-height, and dots that read as substantial circular marks.
Best suited for large-scale display use where its dense weight, rounded forms, and forward slant can deliver impact—such as headlines, posters, event graphics, sports and entertainment branding, packaging callouts, and logo work. It can also work for short subheads or badges, but extended text may feel heavy due to its compact counters and strong color.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, with a friendly softness from the rounded shaping and an energetic push from the consistent slant. It reads as attention-grabbing and informal, evoking sporty branding and retro display typography rather than quiet, neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact with a friendly, contemporary edge: a bold, rounded display sans that stays legible at a glance while adding motion and personality through its consistent slant and faceted terminals.
Spacing appears tight and mass-forward, so words form dense silhouettes with minimal internal sparkle. Numerals follow the same chunky logic, with rounded bowls and simplified structure that keeps the set cohesive at large sizes. The design’s wedge cuts and softened corners create a distinctive texture that becomes more pronounced in all-caps headlines.
