A heavy, rounded sans with thick, blunt terminals and generous curves that keep counters open despite the dense stroke weight. The construction leans geometric but with softened corners and slightly irregular, organic rounding that prevents the shapes from feeling rigid. Letterforms sit upright with broad proportions and a sturdy rhythm, while joins and diagonals (notably in K, R, and V/W) stay blocky and confident. Numerals follow the same chunky logic, with simple, high-impact silhouettes and rounded interior spaces.
Best suited to large-scale applications where strong silhouettes matter: headlines, posters, event graphics, brand marks, packaging, and short calls-to-action. It can work for brief blocks of text when set with ample line spacing, but its dense weight and big forms make it most effective as a display face.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining big, confident shapes with soft edges for a friendly, slightly retro feel. Its mass and rounded geometry give it a toy-like, cheerful presence that reads as bold and attention-seeking rather than formal or delicate.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded voice—prioritizing bold presence, easy recognition, and a soft geometric character for modern display typography.
Counters and apertures are kept relatively clear for the weight, supporting legibility at headline sizes. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with single-story a and g, reinforcing an informal, contemporary display character. Spacing appears tuned for impact, with a dense, poster-like texture in paragraphs.
