A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent forward slant and stout, compact construction. Letterforms are built from broad strokes and smooth curves with small, tight counters, giving the face a dense, high-impact texture. Terminals tend to be softly cut rather than sharp, and curves are generous, producing friendly, inflated silhouettes even in straight-sided letters. Numerals match the letters in weight and tilt, with simplified shapes that prioritize solidity and legibility at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and branding where immediate impact is needed. It can also work well for sports and event graphics, packaging, and promotional copy that benefits from a bold, dynamic voice. Use larger sizes and moderate tracking for improved clarity in dense settings.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, combining athletic urgency with an approachable, cartoonish softness. Its forward lean and chunky forms suggest motion and confidence, while the rounded geometry keeps the voice upbeat rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a lively, forward-leaning rhythm, pairing robust weight with rounded, friendly forms for attention-grabbing display typography.
The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and a dark typographic color, with spacing that reads best when given room to breathe. The slant and dense counters can make long passages feel heavy, but they work well for short, emphatic statements.
