A slanted outline display face with an added inner inline that creates a hollow, layered look. The letterforms are built from rounded, softly squared contours with smooth curves and relatively open counters, while the oblique angle and slightly uneven widths give the rhythm a lively, hand-drawn feel. Strokes maintain consistent outline thickness, with simplified joins and terminals that keep the forms sturdy at larger sizes. Numerals and caps follow the same buoyant construction, producing a cohesive, high-impact silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and splashy short copy where the outlined, italic energy can carry the composition. It works well for sports-themed branding, event promotions, packaging accents, stickers/merch, and playful editorial callouts, especially when set large with ample spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and lighthearted, combining a vintage sign-painting/sports-lettering vibe with a comic, bouncy personality. The slant and outlined construction add motion and swagger, making the font feel upbeat and attention-seeking rather than formal.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, motion-forward display voice with a dimensional outline effect that feels retro and fun. The consistent contouring and rounded geometry suggest an emphasis on fast recognition and graphic impact over small-size text readability.
The double-line construction (outer contour plus inner inline) adds visual depth and can appear busier as sizes get small, while at headline sizes it reads as a punchy, graphic effect. Irregular letter widths and the strong slant contribute to a casual, expressive texture across words.
