A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique slant and soft, generously curved terminals. Strokes are thick and even, with compact counters and a slightly bouncy rhythm that comes from subtle irregularities in curve tension and the way joins are shaped. Uppercase forms read broad and sturdy, while the lowercase shows simplified, single-storey constructions and a prominent, square-ish tittle on the i/j that reinforces the chunky, graphic feel. Numerals follow the same rounded, blocky logic, prioritizing bold silhouettes and clear mass over delicate detail.
Best used for display typography where bold impact is needed: headlines, posters, short taglines, and brand marks. It also fits packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from a friendly, athletic tone, and it can work in large UI or signage situations where a soft, rounded voice is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a casual, sporty friendliness. Its hefty shapes and rounded corners feel welcoming rather than severe, and the consistent slant adds motion and enthusiasm, making it well-suited to upbeat messaging and attention-grabbing headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visibility with a warm, rounded personality, combining a strong, compact mass with an oblique stance for momentum. Its simplified shapes and consistent stroke weight suggest an emphasis on bold, modern communication over formal typographic nuance.
The design favors strong silhouettes and smooth curves, producing confident word-shapes at display sizes. Tight internal space in letters like a, e, and s can make dense settings feel darker, while the oblique angle helps keep long lines feeling active and less static.
