A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and large counters that keep the dense weight from feeling clogged. Strokes show a subtly uneven, sculpted modulation, with rounded joins and softened corners that create a molded, cut-paper feel rather than rigid geometry. Terminals are generally blunt and full, while curves (notably in C, G, O, S) are generous and smooth. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g, a robust dot on i, and an overall rhythm that leans into thick, simplified silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where impact and personality are desired: posters, headlines, product packaging, event graphics, and logo/wordmark exploration. It also fits energetic themes such as sports, entertainment, kids-focused materials, and retro-inspired promotions.
The tone is upbeat and informal, with a buoyant, comic energy that reads as approachable and attention-grabbing. Its slant and chunky shapes give it a sense of motion and personality, suggesting retro display lettering and playful branding rather than neutral text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a friendly, animated character—combining broad shapes, a forward slant, and softened detailing to create bold, readable display typography with a retro-pop sensibility.
At smaller sizes the boldness and tight interior spaces can reduce fine detail, but at display sizes the strong silhouettes and open counters remain legible and distinctive. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction, keeping a consistent, poster-ready color across mixed text.
