A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded, open counters and broadly circular construction in letters like O, C, and G. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, giving a dense, poster-ready color, while terminals are clean and slightly softened rather than sharp or flared. Proportions feel compact and sturdy: uppercase forms are wide and stable, lowercase is simple and sturdy with single-storey a and g, and the overall rhythm is driven by bold masses and generous curves rather than fine detail. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded logic, keeping a unified texture across mixed text.
Well-suited for display roles where immediate impact matters, such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging. It also fits energetic contexts like sports, entertainment, and promotional graphics, and can work for short UI labels or callouts when set with adequate spacing.
The overall tone is confident and high-impact, with a forward lean that reads as active and upbeat. The rounded shapes keep it approachable and contemporary, balancing intensity with a friendly, accessible feel.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-visibility voice that stays friendly through rounded geometry while adding urgency through a consistent slant. The simplified forms and uniform stroke weight prioritize clarity at large sizes and strong presence in bold typographic compositions.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the boldness creates strong word shapes, which can read best when given a bit of room in line spacing and tracking. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping headlines feel cohesive and in motion.
