A heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded forms and a distinctly swollen, sculpted silhouette. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with smooth curves and softened joins that create a rubbery, inflated feel rather than a rigid geometric one. Counters are compact and often teardrop-like, with small apertures in letters such as e and s, contributing to a dense, high-impact texture. The overall rhythm is wide and dynamic, with slightly irregular, lively shaping across glyphs and strong black mass in text settings.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and logo-style typography where its mass and slant can deliver impact. It works well on posters, packaging, and brand marks that want a friendly retro energy, and it can also fit sports and entertainment graphics where a sense of motion is desirable.
The tone is bold and energetic, leaning into a retro display sensibility with a playful, almost cartoon-like bounce. Its slant and chunky curves suggest motion and confidence, making it feel sporty and attention-grabbing rather than formal or restrained.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize visual impact with broad, rounded shapes and compact counters, creating a bold, animated texture in display settings. The slant and softened geometry suggest an intention to feel fast, approachable, and fun while remaining cleanly sans in construction.
The design favors strong silhouettes over open interior space, so word shapes read quickly at larger sizes but can feel tight in longer passages. Rounded terminals and softened corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, while the consistent forward lean reinforces a sense of speed and emphasis.
