A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and strongly simplified geometry. Curves are built from near-circular bowls and open arcs, while terminals are blunt and softly squared, creating a sturdy, cut-paper feel. Counters tend to be compact (notably in O/o, e, and 8), and joins are thick and seamless, producing a uniform, monoline rhythm. Uppercase forms are blocky and stable, while lowercase shows lively shapes like a single-storey a and g, a compact r, and an e with a distinctive angular opening.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence and warmth are desired—headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a friendly, attention-grabbing tone is appropriate, but the dense counters suggest avoiding very small text sizes.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like robustness that reads as contemporary-retro. Its rounded massing and simplified forms give it a friendly, informal voice that feels confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rounded, geometric voice—combining sturdy, simplified letterforms with a playful, approachable character for bold display typography.
The numeral set matches the same bold, rounded construction, with simple, high-impact silhouettes that stay legible at large sizes. Diacritics aren’t shown; the sample highlights strong word-shape and a consistent texture across lines.
