A heavy, rounded sans with a pronounced rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes are broadly uniform, with softened corners and bulbous joins that give curves a slightly inflated, cartoon-like solidity. Counters are tight in letters like O, P, and R, and the overall rhythm is dense and energetic, with subtle width variation across glyphs. Figures follow the same chunky, rounded construction, maintaining consistent visual weight and a smooth, low-detail silhouette.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and energetic promotional graphics. The dense weight and rounded construction also work well on packaging and apparel-style graphics where a friendly, athletic voice is desired.
The font projects a lively, upbeat tone with a sporty, retro flavor. Its bold, rounded forms feel approachable and playful, while the strong slant adds motion and urgency that reads as energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, combining a strong slant for motion with rounded, simplified shapes for warmth and accessibility. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition in display sizes over delicate detail.
Uppercase shapes lean toward geometric simplicity, while lowercase forms introduce more idiosyncratic, friendly details (notably the rounded bowls and softly hooked descenders). The italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals, helping lines of text feel unified and fast-moving.
