A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and generously rounded terminals. Strokes are smooth and uniform, with compact counters and softened corners that give the letterforms a sturdy, cushiony silhouette. Curves dominate the construction (notably in C/G/O/Q and the numerals), while straight stems are slightly sheared to maintain consistent italic rhythm. Spacing reads open and display-oriented, with strong horizontal presence and clear, simplified shapes.
Best suited to large sizes where its rounded mass and italic momentum can do the work—headlines, posters, logos, and punchy packaging. It also fits sporty or youth-oriented branding, event graphics, and short emphatic UI labels where a friendly, energetic voice is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining athletic energy from the slant with a friendly, toy-like softness from the rounded geometry. It feels bold and confident without becoming aggressive, leaning toward casual, fun branding and attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, accessible character: a bold italic display sans that stays readable through simplified geometry, wide stance, and consistent rounded detailing.
Uppercase forms keep a clean, geometric feel, while lowercase introduces more personality through single-storey shapes and rounder joins. Numerals are similarly chunky and high-impact, matching the letters closely for cohesive titling and short-form settings.
