A heavy, rounded sans with a pronounced oblique slant and compact proportions. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with softened joins and smooth, bulb-like curves that keep counters fairly open for the weight. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly angled, creating a forward-moving rhythm, while the overall texture reads dense and dark with sturdy, simplified shapes.
Best suited to short, bold applications where impact matters: headlines, poster typography, sports or event branding, packaging callouts, and social or video graphics. It can also work for subheads and display captions, but its dense color and strong slant make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font feels energetic and upbeat, with a sporty, attention-grabbing presence. Its rounded construction adds friendliness, while the strong slant and mass give it a punchy, headline-driven attitude that can read slightly retro in tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a friendly, rounded voice—combining a strong, compact build with a forward-leaning stance for motion and immediacy in display settings.
The uppercase set leans toward broad, simplified silhouettes (notably in round letters like O and C), while the lowercase maintains a lively, bouncy flow; the numerals share the same chunky, rounded build. The strong weight and slant make spacing and word shapes feel dynamic, especially in short phrases.
