A compact, right-slanted sans with heavy, rounded strokes and softened corners. The letterforms show a lively, slightly irregular rhythm with mild bounce in verticals and varied widths across the alphabet, while counters stay open enough to read at display sizes. Curves are full and slightly squashed, and terminals often finish with subtly angled cuts that reinforce the forward motion. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and simplified, and the lowercase feels compact with short extenders and a small, dense interior space overall.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where its bold presence and animated slant can do the work—posters, event promos, packaging callouts, and logo/wordmark exploration. It can also serve for signage or merchandise graphics when set with generous spacing and enough size to preserve interior clarity.
The font projects motion and exuberance, leaning into a casual, sporty tone rather than a formal or corporate one. Its rounded massing and animated slant give it a friendly, poster-like personality that feels upbeat and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, friendly display voice with a sense of speed and bounce. Its simplified, rounded forms and angled terminals prioritize immediacy and personality over neutral text setting.
In text, the strong dark color and tight proportions create high impact, with a noticeable forward lean and a gently uneven cadence that reads as intentional character. Numerals match the same rounded, heavy construction and integrate smoothly with the letters for emphatic, attention-grabbing settings.
