A heavy, slanted sans with rounded bowls and broadly cut, blunt terminals. The letterforms feel compact and muscular, with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) paired with flat-edged joins that keep shapes crisp at display sizes. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while strokes stay steady in thickness, producing a solid, poster-like silhouette. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms and minimal detail, and the numerals are similarly chunky and emphatic.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and branding systems that need a bold, kinetic voice. It also fits packaging and promotional graphics where dense, rounded letterforms can create strong shelf presence. For longer passages, it will be most effective in larger sizes where counters and internal shapes remain clearly defined.
The overall tone is loud and forward-moving, with a sporty, headline-driven attitude. Its soft curvature keeps it friendly, while the strong slant and dense weight add urgency and impact, evoking retro advertising and athletic branding.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded sans structure and a consistent forward slant. The intent appears to balance approachability (soft curves, simple forms) with assertiveness (thick strokes, compact proportions) for attention-grabbing display typography.
Spacing and rhythm read as tight and cohesive, creating dark, continuous word shapes that prioritize presence over delicacy. The diagonal stress from the slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a unified, dynamic texture in lines of text.
