A chunky, high-impact sans with rounded corners and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are thick and compact, with broad counters and simple, sturdy construction that keeps forms legible at large sizes. Curves lean toward circular and blobby rather than mechanically geometric, and joins often feel softened, giving the set a buoyant rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals share the same dense footprint, producing a strong, poster-like color on the page.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand moments where a friendly, characterful voice is desired. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, labels, social graphics) where its dense, rounded forms can be appreciated without needing fine detail.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a cartoonish, approachable presence. Its soft, inflated shapes and uneven rhythm read as expressive and attention-grabbing rather than corporate or neutral, making it feel nostalgic and fun.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, playful attitude—combining a solid sans foundation with intentionally irregular, rounded shaping to create a distinctive, attention-forward display voice.
The texture in paragraph settings appears intentionally lumpy, with noticeable variation in how bowls and terminals resolve, which adds personality but can reduce precision at smaller sizes. The heavy weight creates strong word silhouettes and emphasizes spacing and line breaks in longer text.
