A heavy, right-leaning sans with rounded, softened corners and broad, compact letterforms. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with tight internal counters and sturdy joins that create a dense, poster-like color on the line. Curves are built from smooth, inflated shapes (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R), while diagonals and terminals maintain a clean, simplified cut that keeps the texture even. The lowercase is robust and readable with a single-storey a and g, a round i/j dot, and short, firm arms that reinforce the bold, cohesive rhythm.
Best suited to display roles where weight and slant can deliver impact: headlines, posters, bold branding systems, and packaging that needs a friendly but assertive voice. It also fits sports and lifestyle graphics, short callouts, and logo lockups where a dense, confident texture is desirable.
The tone is energetic and approachable, pairing a sporty forward motion with a friendly, rounded softness. It feels confident and extroverted rather than refined, with a playful, retro-leaning warmth that suits attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning stance and rounded forms, balancing toughness and friendliness for modern display typography. It prioritizes bold presence, quick recognition, and a lively rhythm in short-to-medium text settings.
The tight apertures and compact counters make the face feel especially strong at larger sizes, while the consistent thickness and rounded geometry help it stay cohesive across mixed-case settings. Numerals are similarly chunky and slanted, matching the overall momentum of the alphabet.
