A heavy, rounded sans with thick strokes, soft corners, and broadly circular bowls. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and terminals lean toward blunt, slightly tapered cuts that add a hand-cut, poster-like texture. Proportions vary noticeably across letters, with wide round forms (C, O, Q) contrasted by narrower verticals (I, J), creating a lively rhythm in words. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with single-storey a and g and a short-armed, blocky feel across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its mass and rounded shapes can carry personality—such as posters, packaging, branding marks, and storefront or event signage. It can also work for bold UI accents or labels when a friendly, informal voice is desired.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a bold, upbeat presence that reads as playful rather than technical. Its slightly irregular, cut-paper flavor gives it a casual retro energy suited to expressive, attention-grabbing typography.
This design appears intended as a characterful display sans: sturdy, rounded forms for maximum impact, with subtle irregularities and varying proportions to keep the texture energetic and human.
Counters stay open despite the heavy weight, helping short text remain legible. The numerals are similarly rounded and weighty, matching the letterforms for cohesive display setting.
