A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves and straights resolve into broad, even strokes with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact letterforms and tight internal counters. Terminals are blunt and rounded, and many joins feel slightly squeezed, creating a lively, forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, superelliptical geometry, with a generally low-detail, high-mass silhouette geared toward strong presence.
Best suited for short-form display settings where impact and motion are desired—headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, sports and event graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for UI labels or signage when set large, where the rounded forms and strong rhythm remain clear.
The tone is energetic and approachable, combining a sporty italic push with a friendly, cushioned geometry. Its rounded, chunky shapes read as confident and modern while also hinting at vintage athletic and arcade-era display lettering. Overall it feels upbeat, bold, and attention-seeking without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a smooth, rounded, forward-leaning character—prioritizing strong silhouettes, fast readability at display sizes, and an energetic, contemporary tone.
The slant is consistent across cases, and the overall texture is dark and uniform, emphasizing silhouette over interior detail. Counters are relatively small for the weight, which increases impact but suggests more breathing room may be needed in longer passages or smaller sizes.
