A heavy, oblique sans with wide, blocky proportions and strongly rounded corners. Strokes are thick and relatively uniform, with compact internal counters and generous, soft curves that keep the forms from feeling rigid. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward-leaning rhythm; apertures tend to be tight, and joins are smooth and robust rather than sharp. Numerals follow the same broad, weighty construction, with a notably full, round ‘0’ and dense, low-contrast shapes overall.
Best suited for large-scale use where impact and momentum matter: headlines, posters, event graphics, sports-themed branding, and bold packaging. It can work for short bursts of copy or callouts, but the dense interior spaces suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and emphatic, with a sporty, retro-leaning presence. Its chunky curves and pronounced forward motion give it a friendly aggressiveness—more fun and loud than formal—making it feel suited to attention-grabbing, high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning, rounded, modern-sans construction. Its wide stance and soft terminals balance strength with approachability, aiming for a dynamic display voice that stays legible and cohesive across letters and figures.
At text sizes the tight counters and heavy mass create a dark typographic color, while at larger sizes the rounded geometry and sweeping curves read clearly and feel intentionally stylized. The italic posture is a key part of the personality, adding motion and urgency even in short words.
