A heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded forms and compact interior counters that stay open at display sizes. Strokes are thick and even, with softly sheared terminals that create a forward-leaning, energetic rhythm. Curves are smooth and inflated, while joins and corners are slightly beveled, giving letters a sturdy, machined feel rather than a sharp, calligraphic one. The overall texture is dense and dark, with strong horizontal presence and consistent weight across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic lines where the weight and slant can do the work of drawing attention. It fits energetic branding such as sports identities, youth-oriented campaigns, bold packaging, and promotional graphics, and it can also serve as an expressive secondary typeface paired with a quieter text face.
The tone is bold and upbeat, combining a sporty forward motion with a friendly, cartoon-adjacent softness. It reads as attention-grabbing and confident, with a playful warmth that keeps the heaviness from feeling severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance, using rounded, sturdy construction to stay approachable. It prioritizes bold presence and readability at larger sizes, aiming for a modern sporty look with retro-friendly charm.
Uppercase shapes are simplified and blocky with generous rounding, while lowercase maintains a robust, single-storey feel where applicable, keeping the set cohesive. Numerals match the same inflated geometry and slant, supporting impactful pricing or scoring contexts. The strong italic angle and thick shapes can cause tight spacing in longer text, making it most effective where brevity and impact are desired.
