A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, chunky forms and softly blunted terminals. Counters are compact and apertures tend toward closed, creating dense silhouettes with strong mass and minimal stroke modulation. The letterforms show a lively, slightly uneven rhythm, with occasional swelling and tapered joins that keep the texture from feeling purely geometric. Numerals match the weight and slant, with broad curves and sturdy stems that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to display applications where weight and slant can do the work: headlines, posters, title cards, sports-themed branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also function well for short UI labels or badges when set with ample size and spacing, but it’s less ideal for long-form reading due to its dense texture.
The overall tone is punchy and upbeat, leaning toward a sporty, action-forward personality. Its bouncy curves and assertive weight give it a friendly, informal feel with a subtle retro flavor, more expressive than neutral. The consistent forward lean adds momentum and makes headlines feel in motion.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-driving, friendly tone—combining sturdy, rounded construction with an energetic slant for attention-grabbing display typography.
At text sizes the dense interiors can make long passages feel heavy, but at display sizes the compact counters and rounded edges translate into strong impact. The slanted construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
