A compact, rounded sans with a pronounced forward slant and heavy, even stroke weight. Forms are built from softened rectangles and superellipse-like curves, producing squarish counters with generous rounding at corners. Terminals are blunt and smooth rather than sharp, and the overall rhythm feels slightly bouncy due to tight apertures, compact spacing, and lively, curved joins in letters like m/n and the numerals. Uppercase shapes stay broad-shouldered and sturdy, while lowercase maintains a large x-height and simplified, highly legible silhouettes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its rounded, forward-leaning shapes can project energy—headlines, posters, branding, packaging, and sports or lifestyle graphics. It can work for subheads and callouts at moderate sizes, especially where a compact, punchy texture is desired.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a sporty, retro-leaning energy. Its rounded geometry and consistent weight give it a friendly, informal voice that feels dynamic without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern display voice with softened, superellipse-based shapes and a sense of motion from the slant. It prioritizes impact and friendliness—creating a cohesive, high-density word shape that stays smooth and readable while feeling energetic.
Several glyphs emphasize soft-rectangular construction (notably O/Q/0/8) and compact apertures (such as e and a), helping the type hold together in dense settings. The slant reads as a deliberate design feature rather than a simple mechanical oblique, contributing to motion and a slightly playful cadence across words.
