A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and softly rounded joins. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing dense silhouettes and strong color on the page. Counters are relatively small and often teardrop-like, while terminals and corners are subtly chamfered, giving forms a slightly carved, poster-cut feel. The overall rhythm is energetic, with gently uneven curvature and a lively forward lean that keeps words moving across a line.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where impact and personality matter. It can work effectively for branding and packaging that aims for a friendly, energetic voice, and for sporty or retro-themed graphics where a strong, slanted sans helps convey motion.
The tone is upbeat and extroverted, combining a retro display flavor with a sporty, attention-grabbing stance. Its chunky shapes and bouncy curves read as approachable and fun rather than formal, making it feel bold, casual, and confident.
Likely designed as a high-impact display sans that prioritizes immediacy, motion, and a personable tone. The slant, tight counters, and sculpted terminals suggest an intention to feel dynamic and bold while staying rounded and accessible rather than aggressive.
In text, the tight counters and heavy weight make it most comfortable at medium-to-large sizes where internal shapes stay open. Numerals share the same robust, rounded construction and maintain a cohesive, headline-ready presence alongside the letters.
