A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent forward slant and softly curved corners. The strokes are dense and smooth, then visually “lit” by a narrow inline cut that tracks inside the letterforms, creating a dimensional, sign-paint–style highlight. Counters are compact and the overall silhouette is chunky and stable, while the italic angle and inline detail add motion and texture.
Best suited for headlines, logos, packaging, posters, and event graphics where a bold, animated voice is desired. It also works well for athletic branding, arcade or vintage-inspired layouts, and merchandise lettering. Because the inline detail is a key feature, it will read most clearly at medium-to-large sizes and in short to moderate text runs.
This typeface feels energetic and extroverted, with a sporty, poster-like attitude. The forward slant and built-in highlight line evoke speed, impact, and a slightly retro show-card confidence that reads as bold and attention-seeking rather than understated.
The design appears intended to maximize punch at large sizes while adding built-in visual interest through an interior highlight. The slanted construction and compact counters suggest a focus on dynamic display typography that can carry short phrases and titles with a strong graphic presence.
The inline cut follows the contours consistently across letters and numerals, producing a cohesive “embossed” effect without relying on external shadows. The shapes favor rounded joins and simplified geometry, which keeps the overall texture smooth even with the added interior line.
