A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and softly modeled terminals. Strokes are broadly uniform with gentle swelling at curves, producing smooth joins and a cushioned, black-and-white silhouette. Counters are open and fairly circular (notably in O/0 and o), while diagonals and arms are simplified into thick, slightly tapered strokes. Overall proportions read generously set and expansive, with sturdy lowercase forms, compact apertures, and a rhythm that favors smooth curves over sharp angles.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where its heavy rounded shapes and slanted momentum can carry a message. It works well for branding, packaging, posters, and signage—especially in contexts that benefit from a friendly, energetic voice. In dense paragraphs it may feel heavy, but it can perform effectively for punchy subheads and callouts.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a lively, forward-leaning motion that feels sporty and upbeat. Its rounded, chunky forms give it an informal, contemporary friendliness, with a hint of retro sign-painting and headline display energy.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, approachable display sans with strong legibility and an upbeat, kinetic texture. The rounded construction and consistent slant suggest an intention to feel modern and welcoming while remaining robust for high-impact applications.
Capitals remain simple and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more personality through single-storey forms and round dots, keeping the texture consistent in running text. Numerals are similarly rounded and weighty, designed to match the letterforms with strong, compact shapes that hold together well at larger sizes.
