A rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and generously softened stroke endings. Forms are built from smooth, slightly squarish curves with compact apertures and sturdy verticals, producing a dense, readable texture. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and curves transition cleanly into straight segments without sharp corners. The overall rhythm is even and sturdy, with a mildly condensed feel in some glyphs and clear, simplified constructions across letters and numerals.
Well-suited to brand marks, packaging, and promotional design that benefits from an approachable, energetic slanted sans. It also performs well for posters, short headlines, and signage where strong color and rounded clarity are more important than long-form reading comfort.
The tone is warm and informal, combining a sporty, everyday practicality with a touch of playfulness from its rounded geometry. The italic lean adds motion and immediacy, making the voice feel conversational rather than formal or corporate.
Likely designed to provide an easygoing, contemporary sans with an italic-forward personality—balancing sturdy legibility with rounded friendliness for modern display and brand applications.
Uppercase shapes stay simple and blocky with rounded corners, while lowercase letters keep a clean, single-storey feel where applicable and rely on smooth joins instead of angular calligraphic cues. Numerals follow the same softened, compact logic, reading clearly at display sizes and holding their weight well in short strings.
