A rounded sans with a pronounced rightward slant and thick, smooth strokes. Letterforms favor soft corners, oval counters, and slightly inflated terminals that create a cushioned, brush-like texture without sharp joins. Proportions feel expanded horizontally, with open apertures and generous curves; caps are compact and sturdy while lowercase forms keep a clear, readable structure. Numerals follow the same rounded, forward-leaning rhythm, with broad bowls and simplified shapes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its friendly, energetic presence can lead: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for playful UI accents or merch/sports-related graphics, while long-form body text may feel heavy due to the wide, chunky forms and strong slant.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a lively, energetic slant that suggests motion. Its soft geometry and chunky weight read as approachable and fun rather than technical or corporate, giving it a mildly retro, sporty flavor.
Likely designed to deliver an easygoing, dynamic display voice that remains legible at a range of sizes. The combination of rounded construction and forward slant aims to communicate warmth and momentum while keeping shapes simple and consistent.
Stroke endings are consistently rounded, and many joins show subtle tapering from curve to stem, reinforcing a hand-drawn but controlled feel. Spacing appears comfortable in text, with a slightly springy rhythm caused by the slant and wide silhouettes.
