A slanted, outline slab-serif with rounded, bracketed terminals and softly inflated contours. The letterforms are wide and open, with generous interior counters and smooth, consistent stroke outlines that keep the texture airy. Serifs read as sturdy and slightly bulbous, and curves (C, G, S, 0) are drawn with even, continuous arcs that emphasize a friendly, cartoon-like solidity despite the light, hollow construction.
Best used for display typography such as headlines, posters, sports-inspired branding, and bold packaging callouts where the outlined forms can breathe. It also works well for short logos or wordmarks, especially when paired with solid fills, color layers, or subtle shadows to enhance presence.
The overall tone feels retro and energetic, reminiscent of varsity, diner, and mid-century display lettering. Its soft corners and buoyant proportions give it an approachable, playful voice suited to upbeat messaging rather than formal editorial work.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif impact while staying light and decorative through an outline-only build. It prioritizes a nostalgic, energetic look and clear, friendly shapes for attention-grabbing display settings.
The italic slant is steady across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping lines of text flow with a forward-leaning momentum. Caps are bold in silhouette and the lowercase remains readable, though the outline construction makes it most effective at larger sizes and with ample spacing to preserve the interior clarity.
