A heavy, rounded sans with smooth, monoline strokes and generously curved terminals throughout. The letterforms are compact and full, with wide bowls, softened corners, and a notably tall x-height that keeps lowercase shapes prominent. Counters are mostly rounded and open, and joins are intentionally blunted, creating a consistent, cushion-like texture in text. Uppercase forms stay simple and geometric, while lowercase and numerals maintain the same rounded construction for a unified rhythm.
Well-suited for branding, packaging, and headline typography where a friendly, rounded voice is desired. It performs especially well at display sizes in posters, social graphics, and product identities, and can support short passages when a soft, informal tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, with a toy-like softness that feels welcoming rather than technical. Its rounded massing and high x-height read as casual and contemporary, while the chunky silhouettes add a slightly retro, pop-graphic flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans that prioritizes softness, clarity, and charm. Its tall lowercase proportions and rounded construction suggest an emphasis on quick recognition and a personable, non-threatening feel for modern display and brand communication.
Diagonal and branching letters (like K, V, W, X, Y) retain the same softened, thick stroke behavior, avoiding sharp intersections. The numerals follow the same friendly geometry, with rounded apertures and substantial weight that makes them visually stable at display sizes.
