A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, rounded forms and a compact internal rhythm. Strokes are consistently thick with softened terminals and rounded joins, producing smooth silhouettes and sturdy counters. The design leans on wide, slightly squashed ovals and circular bowls, with gentle, curved diagonals that keep letters feeling buoyant rather than sharp. Numerals are equally weighty and open, matching the alphabet’s rounded construction and headline-forward presence.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, and logo-style branding where its bold silhouettes can carry the message. It also fits packaging, merchandise, and sports or lifestyle graphics that benefit from a lively, approachable display voice. For longer passages, it works most effectively in larger sizes where counters and letter shapes remain clearly differentiated.
The overall tone is energetic and upbeat, with a distinctly retro, display-driven personality. Its chunky curves and forward lean suggest motion and confidence, reading as friendly and attention-grabbing rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines strong mass with rounded, approachable geometry. Its forward slant and softened detailing aim to communicate momentum and friendliness while remaining simple, legible, and visually consistent across letters and numerals.
The weight and softness make it highly shape-led, so spacing and word silhouettes become a primary feature of the design. Round letters (like O/C/G) appear especially prominent, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) keep a smooth, curved feel that avoids harsh angles.
