A heavy, rounded sans with dense, compact shapes and softly flattened curves. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with generous rounding at corners and terminals that keeps counters open despite the weight. The overall construction favors simple geometric bowls and sturdy verticals, producing a slightly bouncy rhythm; joins and diagonals are blunt and confident rather than sharp. Uppercase forms read squat and solid, while the lowercase keeps similarly chunky proportions with broad shoulders and rounded apertures.
Best used for display settings where strong presence and friendliness are desirable—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It also works well for short UI labels or signage at larger sizes where its chunky forms and open counters remain clear.
The font projects a warm, approachable tone with a distinctly playful, slightly retro flavor. Its stout silhouettes and softened edges feel energetic and friendly rather than strict or technical, making it suited to cheerful, attention-getting typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice: a bold, compact sans that stays legible by keeping counters open and relying on simple, geometric letterforms.
Figures are bold and highly graphic, with rounded curves and sturdy horizontal cuts that match the letters’ mass and softness. The overall texture in paragraph settings is dark and even, emphasizing impact and shape over delicate detail.
