A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent reverse-leaning slant and broad, open proportions. Forms are built from simple circular and elliptical geometry with softened joins and smoothly curved bowls, keeping stroke contrast minimal. Counters are generous and apertures stay open, helping the bold shapes remain readable. Overall rhythm feels slightly bouncy due to the uniform slant and compact, sturdy terminals.
Best suited to display settings where impact and personality matter—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short blocks of text in advertising or social media graphics where the strong weight and open counters can hold up at medium sizes.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a sporty, cartoon-adjacent energy. Its reverse-leaning posture adds a lively, slightly quirky attitude that feels informal rather than corporate. The large, soft forms read as friendly and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, high-impact sans for contemporary display use, combining geometric roundness with a distinctive reverse-leaning stance to stand out quickly in crowded visual environments.
Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive, rounded construction, and the numerals match the same chunky, geometric logic. The slant is consistent across letters and figures, creating a strong directional texture in lines of text.
