A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded construction and broad, compact forms. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong silhouette. Curves are smooth and slightly squared off at joins, while terminals read as blunt and sturdy rather than sharp. Overall spacing feels tight and rhythmic, emphasizing mass and momentum in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand marks where the heavy, slanted rhythm can carry the design. It also works well for energetic signage or sports-themed graphics, but is less appropriate for long-form text where the dense counters and strong slant can reduce comfort.
The tone is upbeat and assertive, with a casual, sporty feel driven by the pronounced slant and chunky shapes. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly and approachable, while the weight gives it a loud, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, modern sans voice—combining a strong, compact footprint with a dynamic slant for motion and emphasis.
Uppercase letters lean toward geometric simplicity with strong bowl forms, and the lowercase maintains a consistent, compact texture in running text. Numerals are similarly bold and stable, matching the letterforms’ thick curves and closed interior spaces.
