A rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and thick, smooth strokes. Forms are built from broad curves and soft terminals, with minimal contrast and an overall compact, sturdy silhouette. Counters are fairly closed in letters like a/e/s, while round letters (o/O/0) stay clean and even. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey constructions with a rounded-shoulder rhythm, and the figures are heavy, curvy, and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and prominent UI or signage where a warm, energetic personality is desirable. It fits branding and packaging that aim for approachability, as well as sporty or youth-oriented communication that benefits from a sense of motion.
The tone is energetic and approachable, with a playful, slightly retro flavor. Its rounded geometry and slanted stance suggest motion and friendliness rather than formality, giving text a casual, upbeat voice.
Likely designed as a punchy, rounded italic sans for attention-grabbing display typography—combining constructed shapes with a lively slant to feel friendly and fast without becoming script-like.
Diagonal strokes and joins (notably in v/w/x/y and k) emphasize a dynamic, handwritten-adjacent feel while remaining clearly constructed and uniform. The overall color is dense and dark, making it most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing in longer settings.
