A compact, slanted sans with very heavy strokes and generously rounded terminals. Forms lean on soft, superelliptical geometry: bowls and counters are squarish-rounded rather than circular, and joins stay smooth and blunted. The silhouette is tight and dense with short extenders, while diagonals and curves maintain a consistent, cushioned edge that keeps the overall texture even in bold sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, producing a uniform, strongly graphic rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, bold headlines, brand marks, and packaging where a friendly, high-impact presence is needed. It also fits energetic themes—sports, youth-oriented campaigns, entertainment, and retro-styled graphics—especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The rounded heft and forward slant give the face an upbeat, sporty voice with a distinctly retro display feel. Its soft corners keep it approachable, while the dense weight reads as confident and attention-seeking—more fun and informal than sober or technical.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft, rounded personality: a bold, slanted display sans that emphasizes chunky superelliptical forms for a lively, modern-retro look.
The design relies on broad, simplified shapes and closed apertures, which strengthens impact but can reduce clarity in longer passages or at small sizes. It performs best when spacing and line length allow the heavy, rounded forms to breathe.
