A heavy, oblique sans with broadly rounded shapes and a slightly uneven, hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with soft corners and subtly wavy contours that keep forms from feeling mechanically perfect. Counters are compact but open enough for display use, and the letters lean forward with a buoyant rhythm. Uppercase forms are broad and blocky, while lowercase characters are compact and lively, with a single-storey “a” and simplified, chunky joins.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster typography, and brand marks that need an approachable, high-impact presence. It can work well on packaging, merch, and sports or youth-oriented graphics where a strong, friendly voice is preferred over precision.
The overall tone is friendly and upbeat, with a retro, cartoon-adjacent warmth. Its forward slant and springy shapes create an energetic, informal voice that feels approachable rather than corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a playful, retro-leaning character, combining heavy weight and forward motion with softened geometry to keep the tone friendly and informal.
The numerals follow the same rounded, weighty construction, reading more like headline figures than text numerals. Spacing appears intentionally loose and roomy for impact, and the irregular stroke edges add personality that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
