A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and generously softened corners. Strokes are thick and compact, with subtly modulated curves that keep counters open and readable at display sizes. The letterforms feel slightly “bouncy,” with uneven optical widths and lively spacing that create a hand-cut, poster-like rhythm rather than a rigid geometric grid. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky construction, with broad bowls and sturdy horizontals that emphasize mass and impact.
Best suited for display typography where impact and personality are priorities: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and promotional graphics. It also works well for short UI or social graphics that need a friendly, energetic callout style, especially when set large with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a retro, comic-adjacent energy. Its slanted stance and bulbous shapes project motion and friendliness, lending a lighthearted, approachable character even at very large sizes. The texture feels bold and assertive without becoming sharp or aggressive.
Likely drawn to provide a high-impact, approachable italic display voice—combining chunky rounded construction with a dynamic slant for attention-grabbing titles and playful brand expression.
The design relies on pronounced curves and thick joins, producing a strong silhouette and clear word shapes in short bursts. In longer text, the lively rhythm and slant become a dominant stylistic voice, making it better suited to expressive settings than neutral reading environments.
