A heavy, rounded sans with largely uniform stroke weight and softened corners. Forms are built from broad curves and sturdy verticals, with compact counters and generous curves that keep bowls and rounds looking full. Terminals tend to be blunt or gently curved rather than sharply cut, giving the letters a smooth, molded feel. The overall rhythm is steady and blocky, with simple geometry and clear silhouettes that hold together well in dense settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, logos, product packaging, and poster typography where weight and rounded geometry can do the work. It can also serve for signage and social graphics, especially when a friendly, assertive presence is desired. In longer passages it will feel dense and attention-forward, working better with ample leading and whitespace.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a bold, toy-like confidence that reads as modern-retro. Its rounded shapes and chunky proportions create a friendly voice, while the strong mass gives it a punchy, attention-grabbing character suitable for expressive headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a warm, rounded geometry—prioritizing bold readability and a distinctive, approachable silhouette. It favors simple, consistent construction over delicate detail, aiming for a contemporary display voice with a retro-leaning friendliness.
Round letters like O/Q show sturdy inner shapes and a compact aperture feel, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay thick and stable without looking spindly. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable, reinforcing the geometric, no-nonsense personality. Numerals match the same rounded, weighty logic and feel designed to stand out in display sizes.
