A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, soft corners and large interior counters that keep the shapes readable despite the dense weight. Curves are full and bulbous (notably in C, G, O, Q, and S), while joins and terminals are smoothly finished, avoiding sharp cutoffs. The proportions lean broad and sturdy, with a consistent, even rhythm across capitals and a slightly more lively, bouncy feel in the lowercase. Numerals are similarly robust and open, designed to hold up as bold display forms.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where impact and warmth are both desired—headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand marks. The strong silhouettes and open counters also make it useful for large UI labels, signage, or social graphics where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, combining a sporty forward-lean with soft, rounded construction. It reads confident and attention-grabbing without feeling aggressive, giving it a friendly, upbeat personality that suits casual and youthful messaging.
This design appears intended as a high-impact italic sans for display typography, emphasizing bold presence, rounded friendliness, and strong readability at large sizes. The consistent weight and softened geometry suggest a focus on contemporary branding and energetic promotional use.
The italic slant is built into the letterforms rather than relying on simple skewing, which helps maintain consistent stroke mass and spacing. Round letters stay smooth and generous, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are thick and stable, reinforcing a strong, poster-ready silhouette.
