A heavy, rounded sans with bulbous curves and gently softened corners. The strokes are uniform and full-bodied, producing a compact, blocky silhouette with generous internal counters that keep letters open at display sizes. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly rounded, and many joins show a subtly sculpted, hand-cut feel rather than strictly geometric construction. Overall spacing reads steady and sturdy, with a strong, poster-like presence in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and playful branding where weight and personality are desired. It can work in brief subheads or captions at larger sizes, but its dense mass and distinctive shapes are most effective when given room to breathe.
The tone is warm, approachable, and slightly quirky, leaning toward a retro sign-painting and cartoon headline energy. Its chunky forms feel confident and upbeat, making text look friendly rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with friendly, rounded letterforms—prioritizing bold readability and a memorable, characterful texture for display typography.
Uppercase forms appear simplified and bold, while the lowercase introduces more personality through distinctive bowls and descenders, creating a lively rhythm in words. Numerals match the same rounded, stout construction, blending smoothly with the letterforms for mixed alphanumeric settings.
