A heavy, rounded sans with broad curves, softly squared terminals, and compact counters that create a dense, punchy texture. The shapes lean geometric—bowls and rounds are close to circular—while corners and joins are slightly softened to avoid sharpness. Strokes maintain an even, sturdy presence, and the overall rhythm feels bouncy due to wide curves, short apertures, and generally closed forms in letters like a, e, and s.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence and quick recognition matter—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and short UI or signage labels. The dense, rounded forms can feel heavy in long passages, but they perform well at larger sizes where their geometry and softness are most apparent.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like solidity that reads as friendly rather than austere. Its bold, cushioned forms suggest a casual, pop-forward personality that feels at home in energetic, contemporary branding as well as retro-inspired graphics.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded voice, prioritizing bold silhouette, geometric simplicity, and cohesive, soft-ended shapes for modern display typography.
The lowercase shows single-storey construction (notably a and g), reinforcing an informal, contemporary feel. Numerals are similarly rounded and weighty, matching the letterforms for consistent impact in headlines and short numeric callouts.
