A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, inflated shapes. Strokes are thick and uniform, with soft, curved joins and terminals that keep corners from feeling sharp. Counters are relatively tight, giving letters a dense, compact color, while overall spacing stays open enough for strong headline presence. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with simple, geometric construction; rounds like “o”, “e”, and “c” read as sturdy, slightly squashed ovals. Figures are bold and blocky, with smooth curves and minimal detailing for a clean, graphic silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where impact and motion matter—headlines, posters, event graphics, and brand marks. It also works well for energetic packaging and sports or streetwear-style communications, where bold, rounded letterforms help create a confident, contemporary voice.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a sporty forward motion with a friendly, approachable softness. Its chunky curves and strong slant create a sense of speed and momentum, while the rounded construction keeps it playful rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of movement, using a strong slant, sturdy geometry, and softened corners to balance urgency with friendliness.
The slant and weight create pronounced directional rhythm across lines of text, and the dense stroke mass produces strong contrast against light backgrounds. At smaller sizes, tight inner spaces may benefit from generous leading or slightly looser tracking to preserve clarity.
