A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction and strongly softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with compact apertures and small interior counters that create a dense, blocky color on the page. Terminals are blunt and fully rounded rather than tapered, and curves resolve into squarish bowls and shoulders, producing a consistent rounded-rectangle rhythm. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that keep letterforms clear at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where a big, friendly impact is desired—such as posters, packaging, kids and entertainment applications, and logo wordmarks. The dense counters and heavy weight make it less ideal for long text, but it performs well when set large for maximum character and punch.
The overall tone is warm, approachable, and slightly nostalgic, evoking toy-like signage and 1970s-inspired soft geometry. Its chunky silhouettes and tight counters give it an energetic, attention-grabbing presence without feeling aggressive.
Designed to deliver a soft-geometry display look: sturdy, highly rounded letterforms with a compact internal structure that maximizes visual presence. The consistent superelliptical shaping suggests an intention to feel modern yet playful, with strong legibility in bold display settings.
Uppercase forms read as sturdy and monoline, while lowercase remains equally weighty with simplified shapes; the single-storey a and g reinforce the informal voice. Numerals are bold and compact with rounded corners, matching the overall squarish-curved motif.
