A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, superelliptical construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing dense silhouettes and strong color on the page. Counters are relatively tight and often rounded-rectangular, while terminals tend to be blunt and slightly angled, reinforcing the slanted, forward-leaning rhythm. The lowercase shows a tall, prominent x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, giving lines a packed, punchy texture that stays very legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where weight and slant can do the work: headlines, posters, social graphics, and bold callouts. The rounded, compact forms also fit energetic branding applications such as sports identities, product packaging, and logo wordmarks, especially when set large.
The overall tone feels lively and assertive, with a friendly, sporty tilt. Its rounded geometry keeps the boldness from feeling harsh, leaning instead toward a fun, retro-leaning personality suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—combining strong mass, a consistent oblique stance, and simplified geometry for quick recognition at a glance.
The figures are wide and sturdy with simple, high-impact shapes, and the capitals read as compact blocks with smooth curves and short joins. The italic slant is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive forward motion that reads especially well in short phrases and branding-style lockups.
