A heavy, rounded sans with a pronounced rightward slant and soft, superelliptical geometry. Strokes are thick and even, with generously rounded corners and terminals that keep counters open despite the weight. The forms lean toward compact, blobby silhouettes with a slightly bouncy rhythm, and the italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals. Uppercase shapes stay sturdy and simplified, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation with sturdy bowls and short, rounded joins.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its bold color and friendly curves can lead the composition. It also works well for playful brand systems, product labeling, and merchandise graphics that benefit from a soft, energetic italic presence.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a sporty, retro-leaning energy. Its soft corners and chunky color give it a friendly, informal voice that feels confident rather than delicate. The slant adds motion and emphasis, making it feel lively and energetic in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with minimal fuss: thick, rounded construction for warmth and visibility, combined with an italic stance for motion. The simplified, superelliptical forms emphasize approachability and graphic punch in display typography.
Numerals are rounded and sturdy, designed to read clearly at display sizes with simple shapes and minimal interior detail. The heavy weight and slant create strong texture in blocks of text, where spacing and rhythm feel intentionally compact and bold.
