A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, softened corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with minimal modulation and generous internal counters that keep letters open despite the weight. The forms lean on simple geometric masses—especially circular bowls—while terminals are blunt and slightly curved, producing a lively, inflated silhouette. Spacing appears compact and energetic in text, with rhythmic, slightly irregular width distribution across glyphs that adds motion and personality.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, and marketing graphics where strong presence is needed. The bold, rounded construction also fits packaging, youth-oriented identities, sports or activity branding, and punchy social or event promotions, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and attention-grabbing, with a buoyant, slightly nostalgic feel. Its slant and chunky shapes convey speed and enthusiasm, reading as casual and approachable rather than formal or technical.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, dynamic voice, pairing a strong, blocky build with rounded geometry and a consistent forward lean. The emphasis appears to be on legibility at display sizes and a distinctive, energetic rhythm in running text.
Round characters like O, C, and G read as sturdy and smooth, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay thick and stable, reinforcing the poster-like impact. Numerals match the same soft, weighty construction, keeping the set visually consistent in display settings.
