A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and smooth, low-modulation curves. Terminals are softly finished and many joins are gently swollen, creating a slightly bouncy rhythm across words. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, while key shapes (like O/0 and C) stay open and broadly circular for clarity. Overall spacing feels solid and blocky, favoring strong silhouettes and simple geometry over fine detail.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where a warm, bold voice is needed. It also works well for branding, packaging, and storefront-style signage thanks to its sturdy shapes and clear, rounded silhouettes.
The tone is approachable and upbeat, with a cheerful, slightly retro sign-painting energy. Its weight and rounded construction make it feel confident and friendly rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, uncomplicated look—prioritizing strong readability at large sizes and an inviting, informal personality.
Uppercase forms read as strong and compact, while lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey feel in places and leans on rounded bowls and short, sturdy stems. Numerals are bold and highly legible, designed to hold up in large, attention-grabbing settings.
