A heavy, rounded sans with a pronounced rightward slant and compact counters. Strokes are thick and sculpted with subtle, irregular edge shaping that gives a cut-out, hand-drawn impression while staying consistently constructed across the set. Letterforms lean wide and blocky with soft corners, simplified terminals, and occasional wedge-like notches; round characters (O, Q, 0) are nearly circular with tight interior space. Numerals and lowercase follow the same bold, slightly wobbly rhythm, producing dense texture and strong silhouette clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as headlines, posters, short slogans, branding marks, packaging callouts, and merchandise graphics. It performs well when set large, where the bold silhouettes and playful slant can carry personality without counters closing up.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, with a friendly, cartoonish punch. Its slant and chunky massing suggest motion and enthusiasm, leaning into a nostalgic, poster-like personality rather than a neutral text voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, humorous, high-impact look with an approachable feel, combining rounded sans foundations with deliberately expressive contouring. It prioritizes immediate visual presence and a lively rhythm for branding and promotional typography.
Spacing appears visually snug, with heavy shapes and small counters that can fill in quickly at smaller sizes. The distinctive, slightly uneven contouring adds character and makes the font feel more handmade than geometric, even though the underlying forms remain clean and sans-based.
