A heavy, slanted sans with compact, chunky letterforms and softly rounded corners. The shapes are built from broad strokes with minimal contrast, and many terminals are cut on angles, giving the forms a slightly chiseled, dynamic edge. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, producing strong dark color and a dense texture in text. Overall spacing and widths feel uneven in an intentional, hand-drawn way, creating a lively rhythm rather than a rigidly uniform system.
This design works well for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, badges, and logo wordmarks where bold texture and motion are desirable. It can also support packaging and promotional graphics that need an assertive, friendly tone. For longer text, it performs best in larger sizes with generous line spacing to offset the dense color.
The font projects a bold, sporty energy with a playful, cartoon-adjacent tone. Its tilted stance and angular cuts add motion and attitude, while the rounded massing keeps it friendly rather than aggressive. The overall effect feels attention-seeking and informal, suited to expressive display rather than neutral reading.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a sense of motion, using a pronounced slant, chunky construction, and angled cuts to create a lively, display-first voice. The irregular, hand-cut feel suggests an aim for personality and immediacy over strict geometric uniformity.
The uppercase shows a strong presence with wide, blocky silhouettes, while the lowercase keeps a single-storey feel where applicable and maintains the same cut-terminal language. Numerals match the letterforms with thick, simplified shapes that prioritize impact over precision. In paragraph samples, the dense black texture is consistent, but the tight counters and irregular rhythm make it best at larger sizes.
