A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, rounded contours and compact internal counters. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with minimal modulation, giving strokes a solid, uniform presence. Terminals are mostly blunt or softly rounded, and the overall geometry favors wide bowls and sturdy stems, producing dense silhouettes and strong word shapes. Spacing appears tight-to-moderate at display sizes, reinforcing a compact, blocky rhythm.
Best suited for large-scale text such as headlines, posters, social graphics, and branding where impact and motion are priorities. It also fits sporty identities, event promos, and packaging that benefits from a bold, rounded italic voice; for longer reading, it will perform better in short bursts or larger sizes.
The tone is energetic and attention-grabbing, with a sporty, headline-forward feel. The pronounced slant and chunky forms add momentum and a slightly retro, poster-like character, while the rounded construction keeps it friendly rather than severe.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch in a compact, slanted, rounded style—prioritizing bold presence and fast, energetic word shapes for display-centric communication.
The design emphasizes bold silhouettes over interior detail, so small sizes may feel crowded where counters narrow (notably in round and two-storey-like shapes). Uppercase forms read as powerful and stable, while lowercase keeps a lively, informal bounce that suits expressive display typography.
