A heavy, rounded sans with large counters and smooth, inflated curves. Strokes are consistently thick, with crisp terminals and simplified joins that keep shapes clean and graphic. Uppercase forms are broad and sturdy, while lowercase keeps a single-storey a and g and a generous, open e, supporting clear word shapes. Numerals are bold and geometric, with an approachable, sign-like solidity.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and storefront or wayfinding where bold shapes need to read quickly. It can work for brief pull quotes or UI callouts when used sparingly, but the dense weight and strong personality make it more of a display choice than a long-text workhorse.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, with a slightly quirky, cartoonish charm. Its big curves and dense weight feel confident and attention-grabbing, leaning toward a nostalgic display mood rather than a strict, technical voice.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with friendly, rounded geometry and simplified construction, prioritizing instant recognition and a cohesive, graphic silhouette.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, with a tight, compact color that reads as a solid block of text. Circular letters (O, Q, 0) and rounded bowls dominate the texture, while angled forms (V, W, X, Y) introduce a lively rhythm without becoming sharp or aggressive.
