A heavy, rounded italic sans with a pronounced forward slant and soft, blunt terminals. Curves are generous and swelling, with compact counters and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm that makes the alphabet feel lively rather than rigid. Letterforms lean on simple geometric shapes—ovals and rounded rectangles—while diagonals and joins stay thick and smooth, avoiding sharp points. Numerals are bold and simplified, designed to read quickly with consistent stroke mass and broad silhouettes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and brand marks where a bold, energetic voice is needed. It works well on packaging and signage that benefits from quick recognition and friendly impact, and it naturally fits sports, youth, and entertainment-oriented design. For longer text, it’s more effective in short bursts such as callouts, labels, or subheads.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a casual, sporty momentum created by the strong slant and chunky forms. It feels upbeat and informal, leaning toward retro display aesthetics rather than sober editorial neutrality. The rounded shapes keep it friendly, while the weight gives it confident, attention-grabbing presence.
Designed to deliver high-impact display readability with a dynamic, forward-leaning cadence and rounded, approachable shapes. The emphasis appears to be on creating a fun, energetic voice that remains clean and straightforward while still feeling expressive.
Tight interior spaces and thick joins make it most comfortable at medium-to-large sizes, where the rounded details and italic motion stay clear. The wide, bold silhouettes hold up well for short words and punchy statements, and the glyphs maintain a consistent, cohesive softness across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
