A heavy, rounded sans with a pronounced forward slant and broad proportions. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt with softly rounded corners rather than sharp cuts. Curves are generous and bowl shapes are spacious, while counters stay open enough to keep forms legible at display sizes. The overall rhythm is energetic and compact, with strong silhouettes and a slightly compressed interior spacing that reinforces its bold, poster-like presence.
Best suited for large, high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, title cards, and bold brand marks. Its rounded heft also works well on packaging and apparel graphics where a friendly but forceful presence is needed. For paragraphs, it will be most effective in short bursts—pull quotes, callouts, and banners—rather than extended reading.
The tone is upbeat and assertive, combining a sporty, headline-driven attitude with approachable rounded shapes. The strong slant adds motion and urgency, giving it a dynamic, action-oriented feel that reads as modern-retro rather than formal or technical.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a rounded, approachable voice while maintaining a sense of motion through its consistent slant. The geometry and sturdy shapes prioritize clear silhouettes and strong brand visibility in display contexts.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and geometric, while lowercase retains simple, single-storey constructions where applicable, emphasizing clarity and impact. Numerals match the same rounded, weighty language and are designed to hold their shape in big, attention-grabbing settings. In longer text, the heavy color and slant create a strong texture that is best used with generous line spacing.
