A very heavy, oblique sans with rounded, swollen strokes and softened terminals. The letterforms lean consistently forward with a lively, springy rhythm and slightly irregular, hand-drawn modulation that keeps curves feeling elastic rather than rigid. Counters are generally compact, with generous ink-traps avoided in favor of solid, chunky silhouettes; joins and diagonals read smooth and cushioned. Overall proportions feel slightly condensed in places, with a set that favors bold, simple geometry and sturdy curves over sharp detail.
Best used at display sizes where its bold mass and oblique stance can project energy—headlines, posters, event graphics, and prominent brand marks. It also fits packaging and casual advertising where warmth and impact are both needed. For long text, the dense counters and heavy color may feel overpowering, so it’s strongest in short phrases and emphasis settings.
The tone is energetic and approachable, with a sporty, fun-forward personality. Its exaggerated weight and forward slant create momentum, while the rounded shapes keep it friendly rather than aggressive. The overall feel nods to casual retro display styles suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, kinetic voice—combining a heavy sans foundation with a consistent forward slant and rounded detailing to feel fast, fun, and approachable in branding-led typography.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable while the lowercase introduces more bounce and character, especially in letters with loops and descenders. Numerals match the same heavy, rounded construction for strong consistency in headlines and short numeric callouts.
