A very heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded bowls and softened terminals that keep the dense weight from feeling harsh. Curves are full and circular, counters are relatively small, and the joins stay smooth, creating a cohesive, chunky silhouette. The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, and the overall rhythm favors stout shapes with sturdy horizontals and diagonals. Figures are bold and compact, with simple, high-impact forms that hold their shape at display sizes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where its weight and slant can convey momentum. It also fits packaging and apparel or sports-related graphics that benefit from bold, rounded forms. For longer reading, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve clarity as counters are naturally tight.
The font reads energetic and friendly, with a poster-like boldness that feels sporty and a bit retro. Its rounded massing and steady slant give it motion and immediacy, while the soft corners add an approachable, playful tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice, combining a consistent italic slant with chunky, low-detail shapes for strong presence in display typography.
Uppercase forms are wide and stable with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, single-story feel in rounded letters and a strong, simple structure in stems. The overall density suggests it’s optimized for impact rather than fine detail, with tight internal spaces that can close up in very small settings.
