A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, softly squared corners and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are broadly even with gentle tapering at joins, giving letters a cushioned, slightly “cut” silhouette rather than sharp terminals. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a curved-shoulder r, and generally compact counters, while the capitals are wide, stable, and strongly geometric with open apertures. Figures are sturdy and readable, with simplified forms and a consistent forward lean that keeps rhythm lively across words.
Well suited for headlines, short passages, and emphasis where a bold, friendly slant is desirable—such as posters, packaging, casual branding, and logo wordmarks. It can work for pull quotes or subheads, but the dense stroke and compact counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or long-form reading.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a subtle retro flavor reminiscent of mid‑century display lettering and sporty branding. Its forward slant and rounded edges create a sense of motion and friendliness, making text feel casual, confident, and energetic rather than formal or technical.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, energetic sans voice with softened geometry—combining strong presence with approachable, rounded details. Its consistent slant and simplified forms suggest a focus on expressive display use while maintaining clear, familiar letter shapes.
Spacing appears generous enough for display settings, and the rounded terminals help prevent the heavy weight from feeling harsh. The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, supporting a cohesive texture in longer lines of copy.
