A heavy, forward-slanted sans with generously rounded, superelliptical shapes and soft terminals throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, with tight interior counters and compact apertures that emphasize mass and silhouette over fine detail. Curves are smooth and inflated, and joins stay clean and simplified, creating a cohesive, rubbery rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Numerals and rounded letters share a consistent, pill-like geometry that keeps the texture even in longer lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and punchy brand marks where the rounded weight can carry personality. It also works well on packaging and product graphics, sports or lifestyle promotions, and bold UI moments like splash screens or section headers. For extended reading or dense information, it will be more effective when set large with generous spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a vintage display energy that feels sporty and cartoon-adjacent. Its chunky, rounded forms read as friendly and confident, leaning more toward fun impact than formal refinement. The consistent slant adds momentum, giving headlines an energetic, forward-driving feel.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, rounded display voice that stays highly legible at headline sizes while projecting warmth and motion. The simplified, superelliptical construction suggests an intention to feel contemporary and friendly, with a retro-leaning, high-energy slant for attention-grabbing typography.
The tight counters and thick joins make small sizes prone to filling in, while larger sizes highlight the font’s smooth, sculpted silhouettes. Letterforms like a single-storey “a” and the compact, rounded bowls reinforce an informal, contemporary display character. The figures match the letters in weight and curvature, supporting cohesive typographic color in mixed text and numerals.
