A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent forward slant and smooth, superelliptical curves. Strokes stay largely uniform, with blunt, rounded terminals and softened corners throughout, giving counters a pill-like, rounded-rectangle feel. The forms are compact and sturdy, with tight joins and broad bowls; diagonals and arms are simplified and thick, producing a strong, cohesive texture. Numerals and letters share the same softened geometry, resulting in a unified, bold presence in text and display sizes.
Well-suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logo lockups, and packaging where a bold, friendly voice is needed. The rounded, uniform construction also makes it effective for sports-themed graphics and energetic promotional materials, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a sporty energy with a slightly retro, poster-like friendliness. Its soft corners and sturdy weight make it feel inviting rather than severe, while the slant adds motion and a casual, energetic attitude.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a softened, approachable silhouette—pairing strong weight with rounded-rectangle construction and a consistent slant to suggest motion. Its simplified, sturdy shapes prioritize bold legibility and a distinctive, friendly display character.
The design emphasizes rounded geometry over calligraphic detail, so word shapes read as smooth, chunky blocks. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a sense of speed and momentum.
