A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and strongly rounded bowls. Strokes are low-contrast and largely uniform, with smooth curves and blunt, squared terminals that keep forms crisp. The letterforms feel slightly condensed and forward-leaning, producing a tight rhythm in words; counters are relatively small, and joins are sturdy and simplified. Figures are similarly robust and rounded, matching the weight and curvature of the alphabet for consistent color across mixed text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where strong typographic color is an asset—headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, and packaging. The compact, slanted forms can also work for bold pull quotes or labels, especially when a fast, athletic voice is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, retro-adjacent feel. Its forward slant and dense weight give it a sense of speed and momentum, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than severe. The texture reads confident and casual, suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, forward-leaning sans that reads quickly and projects motion and impact. Its rounded construction and simplified details suggest a focus on clear silhouettes and graphic consistency for prominent display use.
The oblique angle is pronounced and consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a strong directional flow in lines of text. Round letters (like O/Q) appear broadly circular, and many forms favor simple geometric construction over calligraphic nuance, which reinforces a clean, graphic presence.
