A heavy, obliqued sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly curved terminals. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and generous corner radii that keep forms soft despite the weight. The fit is relatively tight and compact, and many letters have subtly squared counters (notably in C/G/O/Q), reinforcing a superelliptical, engineered geometry. Numerals and caps share the same robust, slightly condensed feel, with simplified, sturdy joins and short apertures that favor impact over delicacy.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and team branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for UI titles and feature banners where a friendly, energetic emphasis is needed, but extended small-size copy may feel dense due to the heavy texture.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, mixing athletic punch with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. Its slanted stance adds motion and urgency, while the chunky shapes keep it confident and informal rather than corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a modern, rounded geometric flavor, using an oblique angle to suggest speed and dynamism. Its consistent superelliptical forms and thick, low-modulation strokes prioritize clarity at display sizes and a cohesive, brandable silhouette.
Distinctive squared-round bowls and counters create a consistent, almost “molded” silhouette across the set. The italic is constructed rather than cursive: shapes remain geometric and stable, with only a controlled forward lean. In dense settings the heavy weight and small openings can darken texture, making it feel strongest at larger sizes.
