A heavy, forward-slanted sans with very round counters and broadly inflated bowls, giving letters a compact, chunky silhouette despite the wide set. Strokes stay consistently thick with gently tapered joins and occasional wedge-like cutoffs, creating a subtle sense of motion rather than sharp, calligraphic detailing. Curves dominate: O/C/G are near-circular, S is smooth and swollen, and the lowercase shows single-story a and g with broad apertures and soft terminals. Figures are sturdy and geometric, with an especially bulbous 8 and a rounded 0, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y/Z) read as thick, stable shapes rather than thin crossings.
Best suited to large-format display work where its mass and slant can communicate impact and motion—headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, and promotional graphics. It can also work on packaging or signage when a bold, friendly presence is needed, but its heavy color suggests using it sparingly for longer passages.
The overall tone is energetic and attention-grabbing, with a friendly softness that keeps the weight from feeling harsh. The slant and inflated forms suggest speed and momentum, giving it a sporty, headline-driven personality that can also read slightly retro in display settings.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines speed cues (forward slant and wedge-like terminals) with approachable, rounded geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouette and immediate legibility at large sizes over fine detail.
Spacing appears generous and the letterforms favor large internal spaces, helping counters stay open at bold sizes. The design relies on smooth curvature and consistent massing, producing a strong, uniform color in text that becomes most distinctive at larger scales.
