A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and softened terminals throughout. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with generous curves and compact counters that give the forms a dense, punchy texture. The alphabet shows a slightly bouncy rhythm: diagonals and joins feel springy, apertures are relatively tight, and proportions vary subtly from letter to letter, producing a lively, hand-leaning energy while remaining clean and sans in construction. Numerals match the letterforms with bulbous curves, sturdy horizontals, and an overall emphasis on mass and legibility at larger sizes.
Best used for headlines, short statements, and display typography where its weight and slant can deliver immediate impact. It fits branding and packaging that want a friendly but assertive voice, and it works especially well for sports, entertainment, and youth-oriented graphics. For longer passages, larger sizes and comfortable line spacing help preserve readability.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, combining a sporty forward motion with a rounded friendliness. Its slant and chunky shapes create a sense of momentum and confidence, while the soft corners keep it from feeling harsh or technical. The result reads as fun, bold, and slightly retro, well suited to upbeat messaging.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that communicates speed and confidence without losing warmth. By pairing a strong italic lean with rounded, low-detail shapes, it aims to stay bold and readable while projecting a playful, contemporary energy.
In text settings the dark color and tight interior spaces create strong impact but can reduce clarity at small sizes, especially in dense words and narrow openings. The italic angle is prominent enough to add motion even in short labels, and the rounded geometry keeps spacing feeling cohesive despite the weight.
