A very heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded, softened terminals and broadly curved joins. Letterforms are built from thick, low-contrast strokes with slightly tapered diagonals and subtly flattened curves, giving counters a compact, sometimes squarish-oval feel. The overall rhythm is lively and uneven in a deliberate way, with buoyant curves in S, G, and lower-case forms, and a single-storey a plus simple, open shapes that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging callouts, and energetic branding. It can work for brief captions or UI accents when a playful, bold voice is needed, but the dense weight favors larger sizes over long passages.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, mixing a sporty, poster-like punch with a friendly, cartoonish warmth. Its slanted stance adds motion and energy, making the voice feel dynamic rather than formal.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with friendly rounded geometry and a built-in sense of motion from the slant. The forms prioritize bold legibility and a spirited, contemporary-retro feel over strict neutrality.
Round dots on i and j and the generous weight create strong spots of emphasis in text. Numerals are bold and simplified, with an especially graphic 1 and rounded 0/8/9 that match the soft, high-impact character.
