A heavy, oblique sans with rounded construction and soft terminals that keep the forms approachable despite the mass. Curves are generous and smooth, while joins are tight and sturdy, creating a compact, muscular rhythm. Counters stay relatively open in letters like O, P, and e, and the overall silhouette leans forward with a consistent slant across upper- and lowercase. Numerals and capitals read as blocky and stable, with subtly varied widths that add natural movement to the texture.
Best suited for bold headlines, short bursts of copy, and branding moments where impact matters—such as posters, sports and lifestyle identities, packaging, and promotional graphics. The strong weight and oblique angle help it stand out in large sizes, while the rounded shapes keep it readable and welcoming for brief subheads and callouts.
The font communicates energy and immediacy, with a forward-leaning stance that feels active and contemporary. Its rounded geometry and thick strokes add warmth and friendliness, while the strong presence gives it a confident, attention-grabbing tone with a slight retro athletic flavor.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, rounded sans personality, pairing a strong display weight with an energetic slant for motion and emphasis. The overall aim appears to be high-impact communication that still feels accessible and modern.
The italics are structural rather than calligraphic, with consistent slant and minimal stroke modulation. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), reinforcing a casual, modern voice and improving clarity at display sizes.
