A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique stance and compact proportions. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with corners consistently softened into rounded rectangles and superellipse-like curves. Counters are small and closed-up, and apertures tend to be tight, giving the face a dense, high-impact color on the page. The overall rhythm is slightly irregular in a lively way, with broad curves, short joins, and sturdy terminals that stay smooth rather than sharp.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and team branding, packaging callouts, and apparel graphics. It can also work for bold UI moments (buttons, badges, promo banners) where strong presence and friendly rounded shapes improve visibility, while dense counters suggest avoiding long paragraphs at small sizes.
The font conveys an energetic, sporty tone with a playful, approachable warmth. Its chunky rounded forms and forward lean read as active and informal, leaning toward retro display aesthetics rather than sober corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, contemporary rounded silhouette, pairing a forward-leaning stance with compact, tightly set shapes for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round characters (like O/0) are squarish-rounded rather than geometric circles, reinforcing a soft, inflated silhouette. Diacritics aren’t shown, and the figures appear designed to match the same compact, heavy color as the letters for consistent headline setting.
