A rounded sans with a pronounced forward slant and heavy, compact forms. Strokes are largely monolinear with softly squared terminals and generously rounded corners, creating a smooth, inflated silhouette rather than sharp geometry. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward closed or partially closed shapes, contributing to strong color and dense texture in text. The lowercase is built around a tall x-height with short ascenders and descenders, and the overall rhythm is slightly irregular in width, giving words a lively, bouncy cadence.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, social graphics, packaging, and logo or wordmark work where its slanted, rounded heft can communicate momentum. It can work for brief callouts and display text, but the dense counters and strong texture make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The face projects an energetic, approachable tone—confident and assertive without feeling aggressive. Its rounded construction and italic momentum suggest motion and friendliness, evoking sporty branding, casual advertising, and a light retro vernacular.
Likely designed as a bold, motion-forward display sans that combines rounded, friendly shapes with italic energy to create strong visual presence. The compact counters and softened terminals appear intended to maximize impact while maintaining an approachable, contemporary feel.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable with softened corners, while the lowercase leans more compact and animated, especially in letters like a, e, and s. Numerals follow the same rounded, sturdy construction and read best at medium to large sizes where the tight internal spaces stay open.
