A heavy, rounded sans with soft terminals and generously curved joins that create a pillowy, bubble-like silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and counters are relatively small, giving letters a compact, solid feel. The design favors broad curves over sharp corners (notably in S, C, G, and e), while diagonals (V, W, X) are thick and slightly softened. Overall spacing reads even and stable, with a slightly bouncy rhythm from the rounded geometry and compact apertures.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, signage, posters, and packaging where its rounded weight can carry personality. It can also work well for playful brand identities, kids-oriented products, and approachable UI moments (badges, labels, buttons) when set at larger sizes to preserve clarity of the tight counters.
The tone is warm and informal, leaning cheerful and kid-friendly rather than corporate. Its soft, inflated shapes feel inviting and lighthearted, with a toy-like friendliness that suits upbeat messaging and casual branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, friendly display voice through thick strokes and softened geometry, prioritizing approachability and visual impact over a neutral, text-first reading experience.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with rounded shoulders and blunt ends; lowercase keeps the same soft construction, including a single-storey a and g that reinforce the informal voice. Numerals are bold and highly legible at display sizes, with rounded corners and a consistent, friendly weight distribution.
