A heavy, soft-cornered sans with rounded-rectangle construction and an oblique slant. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark letterforms and strong silhouette readability. Counters are small and often squarish-rounded, and joins/terminals are smoothly blunted rather than sharply cut. The overall rhythm is bouncy and compact, with sturdy verticals, wide bowls, and slightly compressed apertures that keep word shapes cohesive at display sizes.
Best suited to titles, posters, logos, and packaging where a strong, friendly presence is needed. It also fits sporty branding and promotional graphics, and works well for short bursts of copy such as social media cards, stickers, or merchandising text.
The face projects a bold, upbeat tone—confident and energetic without feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry and inflated forms lean toward a fun, sporty, slightly retro voice that reads as approachable and attention-grabbing in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through soft, superelliptical forms and consistent weight, pairing a strong, modern blockiness with a welcoming, rounded finish. The oblique stance adds motion and emphasis, reinforcing an energetic display-first purpose.
The numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic, with clear, simplified shapes that favor impact over delicate differentiation. The oblique angle is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the dense color suggests best performance at larger sizes or with generous spacing when used in longer lines.
