A heavy, oblique sans with rounded geometry and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing compact inner counters and a solid, poster-like color on the page. Curves are broad and smooth, terminals are blunt and slightly rounded, and the overall rhythm feels forward-leaning and energetic. Uppercase forms are sturdy and wide-set, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey feel where applicable, keeping shapes simple and bold.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing messaging where bold, energetic emphasis is desired. It can work well for sports or streetwear branding, packaging callouts, and social or digital ads, especially when set with ample tracking and generous line spacing.
The tone is upbeat and assertive, with a friendly warmth from the rounded construction. Its strong slant and dense weight create a sense of speed and impact that reads as sporty and contemporary, with a subtle retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice, combining a forward-leaning stance with simplified, sturdy forms for high-visibility display typography.
At text sizes the tight counters and heavy mass can reduce openness, but the big, clear silhouettes hold up well in short phrases and headlines. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction and maintain a consistent, punchy presence alongside letters.
