A heavy, slanted sans with chunky, rounded forms and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes stay broadly uniform, but many joins show scooped cut-ins that read like subtle ink traps, adding texture to otherwise smooth, inflated shapes. Terminals are generally blunt and soft-cornered, and the overall rhythm is compact, with small apertures and sturdy bowls that keep color dense. Numerals and lowercase share the same bold, bouncy construction, with a single-storey a and g and a prominent, round i dot.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where bold silhouette and momentum are priorities. It also works well for short, energetic messaging in sports, entertainment, or youth-oriented communications, especially when set with ample spacing to preserve interior detail.
The tone is lively and extroverted, with a friendly, cartoon-leaning energy that feels at home in retro and sports-adjacent graphics. Its exaggerated weight and forward slant give it motion and immediacy, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice, combining a forward-leaning stance with exaggerated mass for quick attention. The scooped joins suggest a deliberate effort to keep counters from clogging and to add character at large sizes.
The distinctive scooped notches at intersections and along some curves create a slightly stamped or cut-out flavor, helping separate shapes at display sizes. Because counters are tight and the overall texture is dense, it reads best when given room—either at larger sizes or with generous tracking and line spacing.
