A heavy, rounded sans with thick, uniform strokes and generously softened corners. Forms lean toward compact, enclosed counters and sturdy verticals, while curves are broad and smooth, producing a puffy silhouette. Uppercase construction is simple and blocky, and the lowercase uses single-story shapes (notably a and g) with rounded terminals and short ascenders/descenders, creating a compact, cohesive rhythm. Numerals match the same inflated geometry, with open, readable interior shapes and strong, stable bases.
Best suited to short, bold statements such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It can also work for signage or social graphics where a friendly, high-impact voice is needed, but is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes due to its dense texture.
The overall tone is warm and humorous, with a toy-like, poster-friendly presence. Its rounded massing and bouncy proportions evoke a casual, approachable feel with a hint of retro display character.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact while staying approachable, using inflated curves, soft corners, and compact counters to create a friendly, attention-grabbing display style.
The design emphasizes soft geometry over sharp joins, so diagonals (like in K, V, W, X) read as thick wedges rather than crisp strokes. In text, the dense color and tight interior spaces make it most effective at larger sizes where the rounded details and counters can breathe.
