A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded shapes and tightly controlled counters. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth curves and softened joins, giving letters a slightly inflated, muscular feel. The slant is uniform across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the overall rhythm is compact—apertures and inner spaces stay relatively small, which increases density and impact. Uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric, while lowercase includes single-storey a and g with simplified, rounded construction that keeps the texture even in longer text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and other display applications where the strong oblique stance and dense color can carry attention. It also fits sporty branding, event graphics, packaging, and short promotional copy where a bold, friendly voice is desirable.
The overall tone is lively and assertive, combining a sporty momentum from the slant with a friendly approachability from the rounded forms. It reads as contemporary and attention-grabbing rather than formal, with a punchy presence suited to bold statements.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a smooth, rounded geometric construction, pairing a forward-leaning stance with approachable shapes. The emphasis appears to be on strong silhouettes and consistent texture for prominent display typography.
At larger sizes the smooth, rounded terminals and strong black shape create a clean silhouette. In smaller sizes or dense settings, the tight counters and compact apertures may benefit from generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
