A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact proportions and broadly rounded, superellipse-like curves. Strokes stay mostly uniform, with terminals finishing in soft, blunted ends rather than sharp cuts. Counters are tight and rounded, giving letters like O, P, R, and e a dense, punchy silhouette, while the overall rhythm remains energetic and slightly irregular in width. The numerals follow the same stout, rounded construction, with simple, bold forms designed for quick recognition.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where a friendly, energetic voice is needed. It also fits sporty branding and apparel graphics, and works well for display text in UI or social media visuals when set with generous spacing.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a sporty headline feel with a casual, retro warmth. Its rounded geometry and strong slant read as friendly and kinetic rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended as a modern display sans that emphasizes speed and approachability through a consistent slant, rounded superellipse construction, and dense, bold silhouettes. It prioritizes punch and personality over neutrality, aiming to stay legible while projecting a playful, confident presence.
The italics-like slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive sense of motion. The bold massing and reduced interior space favor larger sizes, where the rounded details and counter shapes remain clear.
