A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, rounded bowls and compact inner counters that create a dense, poster-ready silhouette. Strokes stay mostly uniform, with smooth curve-to-stem joins and slightly softened corners that keep the mass from feeling harsh. The lowercase is built on sturdy, simplified forms (single-storey a, open e, compact s), and the numerals are equally blocky and stable, with round 0/8 and a blunt, angled 1. Overall spacing and proportions favor impact and cohesion, producing a tight, rhythmic texture in words.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, sports and team branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It also works well for short UI labels or section headers when you want emphasis and momentum, rather than long-form reading.
The tone is bold and kinetic, leaning toward sporty and retro display styling. Its slant and chunky curves give it a friendly confidence that feels energetic rather than formal, with a playful, headline-forward attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning stance and rounded, robust forms. It prioritizes bold presence and fast readability in large sizes, aiming for an upbeat, action-oriented display character.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the rounded construction keeps diagonals and terminals feeling cushioned. Large text shows strong word-shape momentum, while smaller sizes may appear visually compact due to the thick strokes and small counters.
