A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique slant and soft, continuously curved joins. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing smooth, high-ink shapes and sturdy counters. Terminals are blunt and slightly rounded rather than sharply cut, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and O) read as broadly elliptical. Proportions are compact with a steady rhythm; widths vary by character but maintain consistent sidebearing feel, and the figures are similarly robust with simple, open forms.
Well-suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, logos, product marks, packaging callouts, posters, and bold UI or signage moments where a friendly, energetic voice is desired. It performs best at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded details and dense weight can read cleanly.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, combining a sporty forward lean with friendly rounded geometry. It feels contemporary and informal, prioritizing impact and readability over refinement or austerity.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern sans presence with a forward-leaning, action-oriented stance, while rounded construction keeps it approachable and versatile for consumer-facing messaging.
The oblique angle is assertive without becoming cursive; lowercase forms stay largely typographic (single-storey a and g) and the punctuation and dots appear heavy, matching the overall color. The design maintains strong legibility at display sizes, with counters kept open despite the thick stroke weight.
