A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with large counters and smooth, continuous curves that keep forms open despite the weight. The lowercase shows a tall, prominent body and compact ascenders/descenders, giving a dense, headline-driven rhythm. Curved joins and slightly pinched apertures add a lively, bouncy texture, while the numerals and capitals maintain blocky, superelliptical silhouettes that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short promotional copy where its weight and slant can deliver impact. It works well for sporty branding, event posters, packaging callouts, and social graphics that need a bold, modern presence. For longer passages, it’s most effective in larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, combining sporty urgency with a friendly softness. Its slant and chunky forms feel kinetic and confident, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. The result is a contemporary, playful voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum emphasis with a modern rounded geometry, pairing strong, blocky silhouettes with an energetic forward motion. It prioritizes immediacy and approachability for display typography in contemporary commercial contexts.
Round letters (O, C, G, e) lean into superelliptical shapes, and the diagonal stress from the slant is reinforced by wedge-like terminals and brisk curves. The punctuation and dots appear substantial and visually balanced against the heavy letterforms, supporting short bursts of text and emphatic lines.
