A heavy, slanted sans with smooth superelliptical curves and generously rounded corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with tight interior counters and softened joins that keep the shapes compact and cohesive. The rhythm is energetic, with slightly bouncing baselines and a handwritten-leaning texture despite its constructed geometry. Numerals and capitals follow the same rounded, blocky logic, maintaining a consistent, sturdy silhouette.
Best suited to short, bold messaging such as headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing social graphics. It can work well for sports branding, playful packaging, and informal signage where a friendly, high-impact voice is needed. For longer passages, larger sizes and comfortable tracking help preserve clarity in the tight counters.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a punchy presence that reads as sporty and slightly retro. Its rounded construction and forward slant add warmth and motion, giving headlines a lively, informal confidence.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, rounded geometry and a built-in sense of motion. The forms prioritize a confident display presence while staying approachable through smooth curves and consistent, low-contrast stroke weight.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to suggest speed and emphasis, while the broad, cushioned forms prevent the texture from feeling sharp or aggressive. The font’s dense weight and compact counters favor display settings where impact matters more than airy openness.
