A heavy, slanted sans with rounded corners and broad, sturdy strokes. Curves are smooth and slightly squared-off at terminals, giving letters a soft, blocky feel rather than sharp geometry. Counters are relatively compact and apertures tend toward closed shapes, which strengthens the silhouette at display sizes. Overall rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic, with consistent weight and a tight, solid color on the page.
Best suited for display work where strong presence and quick recognition matter—headlines, posters, and bold marketing copy. The energetic slant and rounded forms also fit sports branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks, especially when a friendly but forceful voice is needed.
The tone is bold and upbeat, combining a sporty urgency with friendly, approachable shapes. Its rounded construction keeps the weight from feeling aggressive, while the oblique stance adds momentum and a sense of action. The result reads as contemporary with a subtle retro headline flavor.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a forward-driving stance and rounded, accessible shapes. The construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent stroke presence, aiming for confident display typography that remains inviting.
The numerals follow the same rounded, compact construction, producing dense, highly legible figures in large settings. In text samples, the letterforms hold together as a strong typographic block, emphasizing impact over delicate detail.
