A slanted, heavy sans with softened corners and an intentionally irregular, swollen geometry. Many counters are partially or fully closed, creating solid internal shapes and a stencil-like silhouette that shifts between rounded bowls and wedge-cut terminals. Strokes feel monolinear but optically uneven, with quirky joins and variable glyph widths that create a bouncy rhythm in words. Numerals and capitals read as chunky blocks, while lowercase forms lean toward simplified, collapsed interiors and compact apertures.
Best suited to display use where its solid silhouettes and irregular rhythm can be appreciated: posters, attention-grabbing headlines, energetic branding, and packaging. It can also work for team/sports promotions or retro-inspired graphics where a punchy, forward-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, with a comic, arcade-like energy. Its closed counters and lopsided details give it a slightly rebellious, handmade feel—more characterful than neutral—suggesting motion, impact, and attitude.
The design appears aimed at maximizing impact through dense letterforms, collapsed counters, and a persistent slant that implies speed. Rather than precision, it prioritizes personality and silhouette recognition, creating a bold graphic texture for expressive display typography.
In text settings the dense, filled-in interiors increase color on the page and can reduce legibility at smaller sizes, especially where counters would normally open up (e.g., rounded letters and figures). The italic slant is consistent and contributes to a forward-driving cadence that suits short bursts of copy better than long reading.
