A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent oblique slant and soft, bulging curves. Strokes are thick and even, with rounded corners and terminals that keep the silhouette smooth and compact. Counters tend to be small relative to the stroke weight, and the overall spacing reads slightly tight, reinforcing a dense, impactful texture. The forms lean toward geometric simplicity but with softened, almost inflated shaping, giving letters and figures a sturdy, poster-like presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branded graphics where a bold, energetic voice is needed. It can work well for sports and youth-oriented branding, apparel graphics, and punchy callouts, especially at medium to large sizes where the rounded details and compact counters remain clear.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, combining athletic energy with a friendly, cartoon-leaning softness. Its strong slant and chunky construction feel dynamic and informal, suggesting motion and enthusiasm rather than restraint or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, modern attitude—combining a heavy, rounded sans structure with an oblique stance for speed and emphasis. It prioritizes strong silhouette and upbeat personality over delicate detail, making it effective for attention-grabbing display typography.
Numerals are bold and highly simplified for quick recognition, while diagonals and joins (notably in V/W/K and the y) emphasize a forward-leaning rhythm. The overall blackness is high, so the type creates strong word shapes and headline impact, especially in short bursts of text.
