A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad, rounded shapes and softly eased corners. Strokes stay largely uniform, keeping the texture dense and even, while generous curves in letters like C, G, O, and S create a smooth, inflated silhouette. The italics are built in rather than mechanically skewed, with lively diagonal momentum and slightly varied set widths that give words a rhythmic, bouncy flow. Counters are open enough to hold at display sizes, and terminals tend to end with rounded, slightly sheared cuts that reinforce the forward motion.
Best suited to large-format typography where weight and slant can deliver impact—headlines, posters, promos, and brand marks. It also fits product packaging and energetic campaigns where a friendly, sporty voice is desired, and can work for short UI labels or callouts when space allows.
The overall tone is upbeat and assertive, combining a friendly softness with a punchy, attention-grabbing weight. Its slant and roundness suggest speed and enthusiasm rather than formality, making it feel contemporary and approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with an upbeat, modern character: a bold italic sans that stays smooth and rounded to remain approachable while still feeling fast and dynamic.
Uppercase forms read blocky and stable, while lowercase shows more personality—particularly in the single-storey a and g and the curved descenders—adding a casual, expressive voice in text. Numerals are similarly bold and rounded, designed to match the letterforms and maintain strong presence in headings.
