A heavy, slanted sans with chunky strokes and generously rounded curves that keep counters open despite the dense weight. Shapes lean forward with a subtly bouncy baseline and slight irregularities in terminals and joins that give the letters a lively, hand-cut feel. Uppercase forms are broad and simple, while lowercase shapes are compact and rounded, with single-storey constructions and short, sturdy arms that emphasize mass over delicacy. Numerals match the same bulbous, high-impact construction and read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where impact matters: posters, event promos, packaging, and punchy social graphics. It also fits casual branding—especially youth-oriented, food, or sports-adjacent identities—where a friendly, energetic voice is preferred over a more neutral grotesk.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a sporty, poster-like energy. Its soft rounding and jaunty slant make it feel approachable and fun rather than technical or corporate, leaning into a playful, retro-adjacent voice that works well when you want warmth and momentum.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch with an approachable, humorous personality. Its rounded geometry, forward slant, and slightly irregular rhythm suggest an intention to feel hand-made and lively while remaining clean enough for modern display typography.
The design’s rhythm is intentionally uneven in small ways—seen in the slight wobble of verticals and the springy stance of letters like a, s, and t—creating personality without sacrificing legibility. Tight interior spaces are mitigated by rounded counters and simplified structures, helping the face hold up in bold headline settings.
