A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and softly swelling curves that create a buoyant, slightly irregular rhythm. Letterforms are wide and low-contrast, with compact counters and pronounced bowls that feel inflated rather than geometric. Terminals tend to taper or flare subtly, and many joins show a gentle wedge-like shaping that adds motion while keeping the overall silhouette clean and sans-like. The tall x-height and stout proportions make the lowercase feel prominent and dense in text.
Best suited for display uses such as headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its chunky, friendly forms can be read at a glance. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, labels, menus) when set with comfortable tracking and leading to prevent dark, crowded color.
The font reads as upbeat and informal, with a retro display energy that feels at home in playful branding. Its exaggerated weight and rounded forms give it a friendly, approachable tone, while the lively internal shaping adds a hint of quirky personality.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a warm, playful voice, combining rounded sans construction with subtle flares and bouncy proportions for a distinctive display personality.
In running text, the dense counters and strong black shapes produce a bold texture that works best with generous spacing and moderate line lengths. Numerals match the alphabet’s rounded, weighty construction and maintain the same soft, slightly animated profile.
