A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique stance and low-contrast strokes. Forms are built from softened superellipse-like shapes, producing rounded terminals and generously curved joins. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with a slight “ink-trap” feel in a few tight interior corners, helping the bold shapes stay legible. Uppercase proportions read compact and stable, while the lowercase shows more variety and bounce, creating a lively rhythm in words. Figures are sturdy and rounded, with simple, graphic construction suited to bold display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short display copy where its bold, rounded shapes and oblique momentum can carry the message. It works well for branding, posters, sports and lifestyle graphics, packaging, and promotional materials that benefit from a friendly, high-impact voice.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a sporty, retro-leaning warmth. Its rounded geometry and forward slant feel casual and upbeat rather than formal, giving headlines a friendly, motion-oriented presence.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, rounded display sans that stays readable at large sizes while projecting speed and friendliness through a consistent oblique slant. The softened geometry and slightly relieved inner corners suggest an intention to keep bold forms crisp and usable in real-world graphic applications.
The oblique angle is consistent across cases, and the rounded corners keep even sharp letters (like K, V, W, X, Y) feeling softened and cohesive. Wide curves in C, G, O, and S emphasize the superellipse logic, while diagonals and crossbars remain clean and uncluttered.
