A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, brush-like terminals and a generally soft, inflated silhouette. Strokes keep a largely even thickness with minimal contrast, while curves dominate the construction and corners are broadly eased rather than sharply cut. The letters feel slightly lively and irregular in rhythm, with compact counters and a forward-leaning stance that reads clearly at display sizes. Numerals match the same rounded, energetic build, with simplified shapes and consistent weight across the set.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and brand marks that want an energetic, friendly presence. It can work for subheads or emphasis in UI and social graphics where a bold, slanted sans is needed, but the dense weight suggests avoiding long body text at small sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, leaning toward a sporty, informal voice. Its slant and softened geometry give it a sense of motion, making it feel dynamic without becoming aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, rounded italic sans with strong visual punch and a casual, fast-moving feel. The softened terminals and simple, sturdy forms suggest an emphasis on approachability and impact across display-oriented applications.
The italic angle is noticeable across both capitals and lowercase, and the rounded terminals help maintain legibility even as forms get dense in tight word shapes. The sample text shows a cohesive texture with strong black presence and smooth curves that stay consistent from line to line.
