A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and smooth, monoline strokes. Corners and terminals are fully softened, giving letters a pill-like, inflated feel. Curves are generous and bowls are tight, with counters that stay open but small at text sizes; overall spacing reads slightly condensed and rhythmic. Uppercase forms are simple and blocky, while lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and a short-armed r, reinforcing an informal, hand-cut sensibility. Numerals share the same thick, rounded construction and remain clear and sturdy.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where bold, friendly shapes are an asset. It can also work for kids’ content, event graphics, and informal signage, especially when you want a soft, approachable voice.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, slightly retro cartoon energy. Its chunky silhouettes and softened joins feel friendly rather than technical, evoking kids’ media, snacks-and-stickers packaging, and lighthearted display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with soft edges—combining a bold display footprint with rounded, accessible letterforms for cheerful, casual messaging.
The strong weight and rounded detailing create high color on the page, making lines feel dense and graphic. In the sample text, the punctuation and apostrophe follow the same rounded, blunted treatment, keeping the texture consistent.
