A heavy, slanted sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and broadly rounded corners. Strokes are thick and uniform, with minimal contrast and closed counters that stay clear at display sizes. The letterforms lean consistently to the right, combining compact curves with slightly irregular, lively widths that give words a springy rhythm. Terminals are blunt and well-rounded, and the overall silhouette reads as sturdy and cushiony rather than sharp or geometric.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and logo or brand accents where its rounded weight and italic momentum can carry personality. It can also work for large-scale signage and playful promotional copy, especially where readability is needed at a glance.
The font projects a cheerful, approachable tone with a nostalgic, cartoon-adjacent energy. Its bold, rounded shapes feel confident and upbeat, making text look friendly and emphatic without becoming aggressive.
The design appears aimed at delivering bold emphasis with a soft, rounded voice, pairing an energetic slant with cushiony, superellipse construction to create a distinctive, friendly display sans.
The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and a pronounced forward motion from the slant. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction, maintaining consistent weight and corner treatment across the set.
