A heavy, soft-edged sans with rounded terminals and broadly curved bowls that give letters a compact, blocky silhouette. Counters are relatively small and openings are tight, producing a dense, impactful texture in text. Strokes are generally uniform with gentle, slightly irregular curves that add a hand-tuned feel without becoming rough. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, and the overall rhythm reads wide and bouncy rather than rigidly geometric.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where strong presence is needed—posters, packaging, cover graphics, and social media tiles. It also works well for playful logos and badges, and for large UI or signage moments where friendliness is more important than fine detail.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like, poster-friendly warmth. Its rounded weight and compact counters create an energetic, humorous voice that feels at home in casual, consumer-facing design. The slight wobble in curves keeps it from feeling corporate and pushes it toward a playful, retro display personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—prioritizing bold silhouettes, compact counters, and simple constructions for clear recognition at display sizes. It aims to feel approachable and characterful while staying within a clean sans framework.
In the sample text, the heavy mass and tight apertures make long passages feel dense, while large sizes remain highly attention-grabbing. Numerals share the same rounded, chunky construction and hold visual weight evenly alongside capitals.
