A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and broadly curved joins. Strokes are thick and uniform, with softened corners that keep counters open and shapes approachable rather than rigid. Round letters like O and C are slightly squarish-oval, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel sturdy and compact. The overall rhythm is punchy and dense, favoring strong silhouettes and simple, highly legible forms.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where bold shapes and a sense of motion help command attention. It also works well for sporty or youth-oriented identities and promotional graphics, especially when set with generous spacing and plenty of contrast against the background.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a sporty, advertising-forward attitude. Its softened geometry and rounded terminals add friendliness, while the strong weight and slant deliver motion and urgency suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, modern voice—combining heavy strokes and a forward slant for speed, while relying on rounded geometry to stay approachable and readable in display settings.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and geometric, and the lowercase keeps single-storey simplicity (notably a and g) for a clean, contemporary feel. Numerals match the same compact, rounded construction, reading clearly at display sizes with a uniform, cohesive color.
