A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves that keep counters compact and corners cushioned. Strokes are monolinear with blunt, slightly softened terminals, producing a sturdy silhouette and consistent color. Many curves read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, and the overall rhythm is condensed by relatively narrow inner spaces and tight apertures. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy forms with short extenders and a utilitarian single-story style where applicable, while numerals are chunky and upright-feeling within the slanted system.
Works best for headlines, posters, and short statements where its strong weight and slanted stance can carry impact. It also suits branding and packaging that want a modern, sporty voice, and UI callouts or labels where a compact, bold presence is helpful. For extended reading, it’s most effective in larger sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a friendly softness from the rounded corners and thick strokes. It feels sporty and practical rather than delicate, suggesting motion and emphasis without looking aggressive. The overall impression is modern and approachable, suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to combine a strong, attention-forward presence with softened geometry, using rounded-rectangle forms to stay friendly while remaining assertive. The slant adds momentum and a sense of speed, positioning the face for contemporary display use in energetic contexts.
The oblique angle is pronounced, so letterfit and spacing read lively and slightly compressed, especially in dense text. Squared curvature and tight counters give it a robust, punchy texture at display sizes, while long passages become visually insistent due to the weight and slant.
