A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded, soft-cornered geometry. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with rounded joins and smooth terminals that keep counters open in letters like O, P, and e. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, giving the shapes a forward-leaning rhythm, while diagonals in letters like N, V, W, X, and Z feel sturdy and blocky. Numerals match the letters in weight and curvature, with bold, simplified forms and generous internal openings in 0, 8, and 9.
Best suited to large-size applications where bold, fast-moving letterforms are needed—such as headlines, posters, sports-related branding, promotional graphics, and packaging. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where a compact, high-impact voice is desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a friendly softness that keeps it from feeling harsh. Its strong slant and chunky forms suggest motion and immediacy, evoking sporty, retro display typography often used for attention-grabbing headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch and momentum through a strong italic slant, thick monoline strokes, and rounded, compact shapes. Its consistent, simplified construction suggests an intention to remain legible at display sizes while projecting a sporty, upbeat personality.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and massed, creating a dense, poster-like color in text. The design leans on broad curves and simplified details, prioritizing impact over finesse, and maintains a consistent visual texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
