A heavy, rounded sans with squarish, superellipse-like counters and softened corners. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with slight unevenness that creates a hand-cut or rubber-stamp regularity rather than a strictly geometric feel. Proportions are squat and roomy, with broad bowls and short joins; the curves often flatten into gently arced horizontals, giving letters a compact, blocky silhouette. Uppercase forms read sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase shows simplified construction (single-storey shapes where applicable) and a distinct, chunky dot on i/j.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and titles where a friendly, chunky presence is desired. It can also suit playful UI labels or product badges, but its strong personality is more effective in display settings than in extended reading.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like solidity that feels casual and informal. Its rounded-rectangle shapes and slightly wobbly rhythm suggest a retro display sensibility—more fun and expressive than corporate or technical.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable display voice built from rounded-rectangle geometry, combining sturdy letterforms with a lightly handmade cadence. The intention appears to balance legibility with character, aiming for a fun, retro-inflected look that stands out in branding and title typography.
Counters are generally rectangular and open, supporting clear letter recognition at display sizes. The font’s visual rhythm is intentionally uneven in places (subtle tilts and varied curvature), which adds personality but can make long paragraphs feel busy. Numerals share the same squarish, rounded logic, appearing bold and sign-like.
