A heavy, obliqued sans with rounded geometry and softly squared terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing compact counters and sturdy interior spaces. Curves are built from broad circular forms, while joins and diagonals stay blunt and simplified, giving letters a chunky, graphic silhouette. Spacing is generous enough to keep the dense forms readable, and numerals follow the same wide, blocky construction for a uniform texture in headlines.
Best suited to large sizes where its heavy weight and rounded shapes can deliver impact—such as posters, bold editorial headlines, storefront graphics, packaging, and brand marks. It also works well for short callouts and signage where a friendly, high-visibility display voice is needed.
The overall tone is upbeat and attention-grabbing, with a friendly, slightly retro feel. Its chunky rounded forms and forward slant add momentum and a casual confidence, leaning more expressive than neutral while staying clean and contemporary.
Designed to provide a high-impact display sans that stays approachable through rounded construction and simplified, low-detail forms. The consistent oblique slant suggests an intention to add energy and immediacy while retaining strong legibility in short bursts of text.
Uppercase shapes read as strong, poster-like blocks, while lowercase forms keep the same heft and roundedness, helping mixed-case setting feel cohesive. The oblique angle is consistent across the set, reinforcing a sense of motion without introducing sharp, high-contrast detail.
