A heavy, oblique sans with rounded construction and a lively, slightly bouncy rhythm. Forms are built from broad curves and stout straight segments, with soft, curved terminals and generously filled-in counters that keep the color dense. The slant is strong and consistent, and many joins and diagonals (like in K, R, V, W, and x) feel angular yet cushioned by rounding. Numerals share the same chunky, forward-leaning stance, with simple, bold silhouettes and tight internal apertures.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where bold, slanted emphasis is desired—posters, event graphics, packaging, and energetic brand marks. It can also work for signage or social graphics when set with ample size and breathing room to preserve legibility in the tight counters.
The overall tone is energetic and upbeat, with a confident, attention-grabbing presence. Its rounded shapes and springy slant read as friendly and informal rather than corporate, giving it a sporty, poster-like character.
The font appears designed to deliver high-impact, forward-motion emphasis with friendly rounded geometry, aiming for a modern display voice that feels sporty and approachable rather than technical.
The design favors impact over fine detail: counters are relatively small, curves are emphasized, and spacing appears tuned for large-scale clarity. Uppercase shapes feel sturdy and compact, while lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey, contemporary feel that keeps text looking casual and approachable.
