A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal contrast, and curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and terminals rather than sharp points. Counters are relatively tight and compact, giving letters a dense, punchy texture; spacing feels slightly condensed in effect, with forms that lean forward and maintain steady rhythm across text. Details such as the single-storey a and g, short t crossbar, and sturdy numerals reinforce a geometric, rounded display voice.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where its rounded, slanted mass can deliver strong presence. It also fits sports and youth-oriented graphics, app or product titling, and short callouts where compact counters and bold shapes remain legible at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and forward-leaning, reading as sporty and contemporary with a friendly softness. Its chunky, rounded geometry feels approachable and a bit playful, while the consistent slant adds motion and urgency suited to energetic messaging.
The design appears intended to combine a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton with a consistent forward slant to communicate motion and friendliness at the same time. It aims for high-impact display clarity and a recognizable silhouette rather than quiet, long-form neutrality.
Round characters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) show squared-off curvature typical of superellipse shapes, creating a distinctive ‘soft-rectangular’ silhouette. Diagonal-heavy letters (K, V, W, X, Y) are particularly strong and graphic, which helps the font hold up in short, high-impact settings.
