A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and inflated, blobby contours. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and counters are compact and smoothly shaped, giving letters a dense, cushioned silhouette. Terminals are consistently rounded, and joins often feel slightly pinched or scooped, adding a hand-cut, irregular rhythm. The lowercase features single-storey forms and a prominent, round dot on i/j; figures are similarly chunky with simple, open shapes for readability at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, playful branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks where a friendly, rounded voice is desired. It can also work for children’s materials or casual social graphics, while extended small-size text may feel heavy due to the dense forms.
The overall tone is warm, approachable, and lighthearted, with a toy-like, comic sensibility. Its soft geometry and uneven bounce suggest friendliness and humor rather than precision or formality.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable display voice through rounded, simplified letterforms and a slightly irregular, handcrafted rhythm that keeps the texture lively in large sizes.
Spacing appears generous and the shapes are optimized for impact, with strong black area and simplified details. Some letters show intentionally quirky proportions (notably in diagonals and bowls), reinforcing a handmade, characterful texture across words.
