A very heavy, right-leaning sans with broadly rounded curves and blunt, slightly tapered terminals. Strokes stay visually consistent with minimal contrast, creating solid, compact counters and a dense color on the page. The drawing favors smooth bowls and softened corners, with a noticeable italic slant and a forward-tilting rhythm across both cases. Uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric, while lowercase shows more compact, simplified shapes that keep the overall texture tight and bold.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, bold brand marks, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage where its dense color and italic motion can do the work. It can also support short callouts or subheads when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a forward-leaning stance that feels energetic and informal. Its rounded geometry and thick strokes give it a friendly, slightly retro flavor that reads as confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, contemporary slant—combining a heavy, rounded construction with an energetic rhythm for expressive display typography.
In text settings the weight and tight internal space make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the rounded shapes and angled stance remain distinct. Numerals match the heavy, compact construction and maintain the same smooth, softened feel as the letters.
