A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and broad, even strokes that keep counters open despite the weight. Curves lean toward circular geometry, while joins and terminals are smoothly blunted, giving the alphabet a cohesive, pill-like finish. Proportions feel generously set with stable verticals and minimal stroke modulation; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and sturdy rather than sharp. Lowercase forms are simple and single-storey where expected (a, g), with a compact overall rhythm and sturdy punctuation-like dots on i and j.
Best suited for short to medium display text where impact and warmth are needed—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and attention-grabbing UI or signage. The generous stroke weight and open counters help maintain clarity at larger sizes and in high-contrast color applications.
The tone is approachable and upbeat, with a buoyant, friendly mass that reads as casual rather than technical. Its rounded construction softens the boldness, creating a playful, retro-leaning voice that still feels confident and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver strong visual presence while staying friendly and accessible through rounded geometry and simplified, sturdy letterforms. It prioritizes bold, characterful readability for display typography over fine, text-oriented detail.
Distinctive details include a rounded, hooked tail on the uppercase Q and a curved-bottom J that adds character. Numerals are similarly soft and weighty, with clear, chunky silhouettes suited to display settings.
