A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and broadly rounded, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and minimal modulation, creating a smooth, rubbery silhouette. Counters tend to be small and rounded, and many joins resolve into gentle curves rather than sharp angles, keeping the rhythm dense and cohesive. The italic angle is pronounced enough to add momentum without breaking legibility, and spacing feels sturdy and display-oriented.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short-to-medium display text where bold, rounded forms can carry personality. It works well in branding and packaging that aims for friendliness and punch, and it’s a natural fit for sporty or youth-oriented graphics. For longer text, it’s most effective when used at larger sizes where the tight counters and dense rhythm stay clear.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a sporty, poster-like energy. Rounded geometry and chunky weight give it a friendly, informal voice that reads as contemporary with a hint of retro signage. It feels confident and loud without becoming aggressive, making text look energetic and inviting.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, rounded voice: a bold italic sans that combines compact, superellipse-like geometry with an energetic forward slant. It prioritizes immediacy, coherence, and a playful tone for modern display typography.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and blocky with softened terminals, while lowercase maintains the same rounded construction for a consistent texture in paragraphs. Numerals match the bold, rounded language and look optimized for impact rather than delicate detail. The strong slant adds motion and emphasis, making the font feel naturally suited to dynamic layouts.
