A heavy, slanted sans with large, rounded counters and blunt terminals. Curves are smooth and geometric, with softened corners that keep the dense strokes from feeling rigid. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, creating a strong forward motion, while spacing stays compact for a tight, headline-friendly color. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, inflated proportions, giving the set a cohesive, poster-like rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short-callout typography where impact and motion are priorities. It also fits sports-themed branding, energetic campaigns, and bold packaging or labels that benefit from a compact, high-contrast silhouette against light backgrounds.
The overall tone feels energetic and punchy, with a sporty, action-oriented attitude. Its bold, rounded shapes read as friendly but forceful, landing in a retro display space that suggests speed, competition, and loud emphasis.
This font appears designed as a high-impact italic display sans: maximize presence with dense, rounded forms and a strong forward slant, while keeping shapes simple and broadly legible for attention-focused settings.
The design’s mass and compact sidebearings create strong word shapes at large sizes, but the heavy joins and tight texture can fill in at smaller sizes. The slant adds momentum and helps short phrases feel more animated and attention-grabbing.
