A heavy, rounded sans with large, cushiony forms and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick with visible modulation at joins and curves, producing a subtly sculpted, ink-trap-like feel in places rather than purely geometric uniformity. Counters are generally small and circular-to-oval, contributing to a dense, high-impact color on the page. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, short extenders, and compact bowls; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are broad and sturdy, and numerals are similarly weighty with simplified interior shapes.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its weight and rounded forms can deliver instant impact. It also works well for short, playful UI labels or badges, but extended reading will benefit from generous sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a buoyant, slightly mischievous character. Its rounded massing and compact counters give it a toy-like, poster-friendly energy that reads as retro and pop-leaning rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears aimed at maximum visual impact with a friendly, informal voice—pairing a robust, wide stance with rounded geometry and subtle stroke shaping to create a distinctive, characterful display sans.
In text settings the dense blackness and tight interior spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the rounded detailing and modulation read clearly. The rhythm is lively, with occasional asymmetries and wedge-like terminals adding personality without turning into a novelty script.
