A compact, heavy sans with softly rounded corners and a slightly bouncy, irregular rhythm. Curves are broad and smooth, with blunt terminals and minimal stroke modulation, giving letters a sculpted, cushiony feel. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and many joins read as gently tapered or subtly uneven, adding a hand-touched texture without becoming script-like. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with single-storey shapes and straightforward construction, while numerals echo the same rounded, weighty geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and display typography where a friendly, bold voice is needed. It also works well for signage and social graphics thanks to its strong letterforms and soft, high-contrast-against-background presence, but is most convincing in short text rather than extended reading.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, leaning playful and slightly retro. Its soft geometry and lively rhythm make it feel casual and human rather than technical or corporate.
Likely designed to provide a welcoming, characterful sans for display use—combining robust weight with rounded, approachable forms and a subtly quirky rhythm for memorable branding.
The design favors strong silhouettes and smooth curves over crisp precision, which helps it hold up in large sizes and punchy settings. The slightly varied stroke behavior and wide curves can make dense text feel energetic, especially in all-caps or short, emphatic phrases.
