A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, slightly squashed forms and soft cornering that keeps the large weight from feeling rigid. Strokes are broadly uniform, with smooth curves and subtly tapered joins that create a lively rhythm. Counters are moderately tight and the overall texture is compact, producing strong, dark word shapes. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction, with simplified interiors and assertive silhouettes.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, sports and team branding, product packaging, and promotional graphics where a compact, energetic voice is needed. It can also work for logos and display lines that benefit from strong silhouette recognition at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone feels energetic and sporty, with a playful, approachable warmth. Its forward-leaning stance and chunky shapes suggest motion and confidence, making it feel bold and upbeat rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, energetic display voice with friendly rounded geometry and a forward-leaning stance, prioritizing impact and momentum while keeping forms approachable and cohesive across letters and numerals.
Uppercase shapes read as sturdy and compact, while the lowercase introduces more bounce through rounded shoulders and single-storey constructions. The punctuation and dots appear large and sturdy in proportion to the weight, supporting high-impact settings.
