A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded terminals and softened corners throughout. The letterforms combine broad, sturdy strokes with gently curved joins, producing a smooth, inflated silhouette rather than sharp geometry. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm feels lively thanks to the consistent slant and slightly elastic curves. Numerals and lowercase follow the same rounded, robust construction, maintaining a cohesive, punchy texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, poster copy, branding marks, and packaging where a bold, upbeat voice is needed. It works well for sports and lifestyle promotions, event graphics, and social media titles that benefit from a compact, high-impact presence.
The tone is energetic and approachable, with a buoyant, sporty feel that reads as contemporary but with a nod to retro display styling. Its softness and rounded finishing make it feel friendly and informal, while the dense weight keeps it assertive and attention-grabbing.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice, balancing assertiveness and approachability. The consistent forward motion and softened geometry suggest an intention to feel dynamic and modern while remaining easy to read at display sizes.
In longer lines, the strong slant and thick strokes create a prominent typographic color that favors short statements over quiet reading. The rounded shaping helps prevent the weight from feeling harsh, keeping headlines legible even at tighter spacing.
