A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded, brush-like strokes and soft, tapered terminals. Letterforms are compact and robust, with generously curved bowls and a subtly uneven, hand-rendered edge that keeps the texture lively while staying clean at display sizes. The proportions favor broad, open counters and simplified construction, producing a punchy silhouette and strong word shape. Numerals and capitals share the same bold, rounded geometry and consistent rightward motion.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logotypes, sports and event graphics, and bold packaging or social media promos. It can also work for brief callouts or UI banners where a friendly, energetic emphasis is needed, but its weight and lively texture favor display use over long-form reading.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a bouncy rhythm that feels friendly and extroverted. Its slanted stance and chunky curves suggest motion and enthusiasm, leaning toward a fun, approachable voice rather than a formal one.
Designed to deliver immediate visual impact with an informal, animated character—combining bold rounded forms with a brushy, forward-leaning stance to suggest movement and approachability.
The texture reads as intentionally “marker/brush” influenced: strokes swell and taper slightly at joins and ends, creating a dynamic, hand-made feel without relying on sharp corners or decorative details. The italic angle is a key contributor to its sense of speed and spontaneity.
