A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, softly blunted terminals and an overall compact, chunky build. Curves are full and circular, counters are generous, and joins stay smooth, producing a low-detail silhouette that reads strongly at larger sizes. The italic angle is consistent, with a slightly forward-leaning rhythm and mild width variation across glyphs that adds a lively, hand-cut feel without becoming irregular.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It also fits sports or youth-oriented graphics, stickers, and apparel where strong silhouettes and a playful slant help convey energy and motion.
The tone is upbeat and energetic, with a cartoonish warmth that feels casual and approachable. Its bold, rounded forms suggest motion and impact, giving it a sporty, retro-leaning personality suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than quiet text.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with friendly rounded geometry, pairing a consistent italic slant with simplified, heavy shapes for confident display typography. The emphasis appears to be on bold readability and a charismatic, energetic voice in branding and promotional contexts.
Uppercase shapes lean toward broad, simplified construction, while lowercase forms introduce more personality through round bowls and occasionally quirky proportions. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the same rounded, heavy stroke language for cohesive display use.
