A heavy, right-leaning sans with fully rounded terminals and soft, superelliptical curves throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast and a slightly elastic rhythm that comes from the slanted posture and subtly irregular, hand-drawn-like proportions. Counters are compact but open enough to stay readable at display sizes, while joins and corners are generously eased, producing a cushioned, rubbery silhouette. Figures are bold and simple with the same rounded geometry, and overall spacing reads tight and energetic rather than airy.
Best suited for display applications where strong impact and warmth are needed, such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a bold, friendly emphasis is desired, but its dense forms suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a sporty, retro flavor that feels more fun than formal. Its buoyant slant and pillowy shapes give it an informal, friendly voice that suggests movement and enthusiasm.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans with rounded, superelliptical forms and an energetic italic stance, prioritizing immediacy and personality over neutrality. It aims to create a soft yet powerful presence that reads quickly and feels contemporary with a retro twist.
The alphabet shows a consistent round-rectangle construction across both uppercase and lowercase, creating a cohesive texture in words. The italic angle is pronounced enough to add momentum, and the weight creates strong color for headlines, signage, and short bursts of text.
