A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, slightly squarish curves and smooth terminals. Forms are built from broad strokes with minimal modulation, giving counters a compact, sturdy feel. The overall construction leans on geometric circles and softened rectangles, with wide proportions and generous presence; apertures are moderately open and joins are clean, producing a solid, even texture in both upper- and lowercase.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and promotional graphics where a bold, energetic texture is desired. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when strong emphasis is needed, but dense paragraphs may feel visually heavy due to the compact counters.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a friendly, approachable energy rather than a formal or technical one. Its slanted stance and rounded geometry read as dynamic and sporty, lending an informal, contemporary voice that feels assertive without becoming harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, modern character—combining a strong, wide stance with softened geometry and an energetic slant for high-visibility communication.
In the grid and sample text, the heavy weight compresses some interior space in letters like a/e/s and in numerals, emphasizing mass and impact. The oblique angle is consistent across glyphs, and the rounded finishing helps maintain legibility and warmth at display sizes.
