A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded outer contours and mostly uniform stroke thickness. Letterforms are compact and slightly squared-off, with softened corners and broad curves that keep counters open despite the weight. Terminals tend to be blunt and gently chamfered, producing a sturdy, stamp-like texture. The rhythm is punchy and somewhat irregular in silhouette, giving the alphabet a lively, hand-cut feel while remaining clearly constructed and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, product packaging, and bold signage. It holds up well at large sizes where its rounded shaping and slanted stance can communicate motion and personality, and it can also work for brief subheads or callouts where strong emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and extroverted, combining athletic punch with a friendly, approachable softness. Its bold slant adds motion and urgency, while the rounded shaping keeps it from feeling harsh or industrial. The result reads as confident, playful, and slightly retro.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, dynamic stance while staying friendly and legible. The rounded geometry and blunt terminals suggest a focus on approachable display use—optimized for bold brand moments rather than delicate text typography.
Caps are wide and strong with generous curvature (notably in C, G, O, Q), while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) feel thick and emphatic. Lowercase maintains a compact footprint with simple, single-story-style construction cues and tight joins that create a dense, headline-friendly color. Numerals are stout and readable, matching the same blunt, rounded treatment and forward lean.
