A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and broadly geometric construction. Strokes are thick and consistent, with generous curves and subtly flattened terminals that keep letters sturdy and compact. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as near-circular with tight interior counters, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, L, T) are wide and blocky with softened joins. Lowercase forms are simple and robust, with a single-storey a and g and short ascenders/descenders that keep the texture dense and even.
Best suited to large-size applications where its thick shapes and rounded forms can deliver strong impact—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and brand marks. It can also work for short blocks of marketing copy where a friendly, energetic texture is desired, but its dense counters and heavy weight make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is warm, upbeat, and informal, with a slightly retro, cartoon-adjacent friendliness. Its chunky proportions and rounded geometry create a confident, high-impact voice that feels approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to provide a cheerful, high-impact display voice: a rounded, geometric sans that prioritizes bold legibility and a fun, accessible personality for contemporary branding and promotional contexts.
The numerals follow the same soft, heavy construction and read clearly at display sizes, with rounded bowls and stable, wide silhouettes. The design favors bold silhouettes and simple internal shapes over fine detail, producing a strong, poster-like color in paragraphs.
