A heavy, rounded italic sans with broad, soft-shouldered strokes and strongly curved terminals. Forms are built from inflated ovals and gentle arcs, with a noticeable rightward slant and a lively, bouncing baseline rhythm. Counters are compact but remain clear at display sizes, and joins often show subtle notch-like shaping that helps keep interior spaces open. Uppercase letters are wide and sturdy, while the lowercase has a single-storey, highly simplified feel that emphasizes smooth curves over sharp detail; figures match the same chunky, rounded construction.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its thick, rounded italic shapes can carry personality—such as posters, packaging, logos, and promotional graphics. It can also work for playful UI accents or social graphics when a friendly, high-impact voice is needed.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a retro sign-painting and soft comic sensibility. Its weight and rounded geometry make it feel warm and inviting rather than technical, while the italic slant adds motion and energy.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft, approachable character: a bold italic sans that reads quickly, feels energetic, and maintains legibility through rounded construction and preserved interior spaces.
The silhouette reads best when allowed to be large, where the rounded corners, compact counters, and distinctive join shaping remain crisp and intentional. Letterforms prioritize bold massing and smooth curvature over fine detail, giving words a cohesive, poster-like texture.
