A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad, rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay largely monolinear, producing dense, compact counters and a strong, even color on the page. Curves are built from superelliptical bowls rather than perfect circles, while terminals tend to be blunt and rounded, giving the forms a molded, slightly condensed feel. The set shows lively, somewhat uneven rhythm in places (notably in diagonals and joins), which adds character without turning into a script.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging, and apparel graphics where bold presence and motion are desired. It can work for punchy subheads or callouts, but its dense counters and strong slant make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a sporty, retro-leaning personality. Its chunky, rounded shapes read as friendly and fun, while the strong slant adds motion and urgency suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—combining a forward slant for dynamism with compact, superelliptical forms for a contemporary, soft-edged display look.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase shapes keep the same inflated, soft-corner logic; the single-story a and g reinforce an informal, contemporary feel. Numerals match the letterforms with rounded, compact silhouettes and high visual weight, supporting consistent display color across mixed text.
