A heavy, rounded sans with superellipse-like curves and softly squared terminals. Strokes are thick and even, with compact counters and relatively closed apertures that give the letters a dense, sturdy color on the page. Curves are smooth and inflated (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and ends tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than sharp points. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms and short, thick extenders; figures are similarly rounded and blocky, designed to read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging callouts, and storefront or wayfinding signage. It can work for brief UI labels or buttons when a friendly, chunky voice is desired, but longer paragraphs may feel heavy due to the dense counters and compact word shapes.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a bubbly, toy-like friendliness that still feels contemporary. Its rounded rectangles and tight counters create a confident, chunky presence that reads as upbeat and approachable rather than technical or austere.
Designed to deliver a bold, friendly voice through rounded-rectangle construction and simplified letterforms. The consistent heavy strokes and soft corners prioritize immediacy and character, aiming for strong presence and approachable legibility in display contexts.
The rhythm is compact and emphatic, producing strong texture in words. Because apertures are fairly closed and the weight is substantial, smaller sizes may feel dense, while display settings emphasize its smooth, inflated shapes and soft-cornered geometry.
