A heavy, rounded sans with soft-rectangle construction and generously curved corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with narrow internal counters that often read as small vertical apertures, giving letters a compact, stamp-like density. Terminals are blunt and fully rounded, and curves tend toward superelliptical geometry rather than true circles. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders and descenders, reinforcing a tight vertical rhythm; punctuation and figures follow the same solid, softly squared silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where its dense black shape and rounded geometry can read clearly—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and playful signage. It can work for large-scale UI or labels when a friendly, attention-grabbing voice is desired, but the tight counters suggest avoiding small sizes for longer passages.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a toy-like softness that feels approachable and slightly retro. Its inflated, rounded shapes create a humorous, friendly voice that leans toward pop signage and entertainment rather than formal editorial typography.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a soft, approachable silhouette, combining compact proportions with rounded-rectangle forms for a distinctive, memorable display texture. The letterforms prioritize bold shapes and consistent rhythm over fine detail, aiming for quick recognition and a fun, contemporary-retro feel.
Distinctive details include very small counters in characters like a, e, and g, and simplified, compact joins that keep complex forms (such as m and w) blocky and cohesive. The ‘1’ is a simple upright form, and the numerals share the same rounded-rectangle massing for consistent texture in display settings.
