A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded, bulging bowls. Strokes stay largely even in weight, creating dense silhouettes with tight counters and a strong horizontal rhythm. Curves are generously rounded while joins and terminals often cut at an angle, giving the letters a slightly wedge-like, forward-leaning finish. The overall texture is bold and dark on the page, with lively variation between rounded forms and sharper angled details.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and bold packaging or signage. It performs well at large sizes where its compact counters and dark color can be appreciated without sacrificing clarity.
The font reads energetic and extroverted, combining a sporty forward motion with a friendly, approachable softness. Its chunky shapes and rounded forms give it a playful, slightly retro flavor that feels bold without becoming severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, pairing a forward slant with rounded, robust forms for a dynamic display voice. It prioritizes strong presence and readable word shapes over delicate detailing, making it well suited for energetic branding and promotional typography.
Uppercase forms feel compact and sturdy, while lowercase maintains the same mass and slant, keeping word shapes cohesive and emphatic. Numerals match the heavy, rounded construction, supporting consistent tone across display settings.
