A heavy, slanted sans with rounded construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are thick and even, with softened joins and subtly tapered or angled terminals that keep the forms from feeling mechanical. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly condensed in its inner spaces, with compact counters and sturdy bowls that maintain clarity at display sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded, forward-leaning logic, reading cohesive and robust.
Well-suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its weight and slant can carry emphasis. It can also work for energetic branding systems—especially in lifestyle or sports-adjacent contexts—when used in larger sizes or with ample spacing.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a sporty forward motion with a friendly softness. It feels contemporary yet slightly retro in its rounded, punchy shapes, making text look confident and informal rather than corporate or reserved.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, forward-leaning sans that stays friendly through rounded geometry and soft terminals. It prioritizes instant impact and a smooth, contemporary rhythm, aiming for expressive display use rather than restrained, text-first neutrality.
Uppercase forms stay clean and simplified, while lowercase adds character through single-storey shapes and generous curves that emphasize motion. The italic angle is consistent across the set, giving lines of text a strong directional flow and a distinctive headline presence.
