A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and softly squared terminals that keep the silhouettes blocky but not sharp. Curves are generous and circular, with large counters in letters like O and e, while many joins and cut-ins are slightly angled, adding a hand-cut, wobbly rhythm. Stroke endings are mostly blunt, and the overall color is dense and even, producing strong presence at display sizes. Uppercase forms read sturdy and geometric, while lowercase shapes stay simple and open, with a single-storey a and g and a tall, prominent dot on i/j.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where its dense weight and lively shapes can carry impact—posters, event graphics, packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks. It can work for subheads and callouts in branding systems that want a warm, playful voice, but its strong personality and heavy color make it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The font feels upbeat and approachable, with a slightly mischievous, cut-paper bounce that keeps it from looking rigid. Its chunky weight and rounded geometry give it a friendly, cartoon-adjacent tone that suits energetic, informal messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, approachable character—combining geometric roundness with small irregular cues to create a bold display voice that feels informal and energetic.
Several glyphs show subtle asymmetries and angled notches that introduce motion and personality, especially noticeable in S, K, and the diagonals. Numerals are bold and rounded, with strong, simple silhouettes designed for quick recognition in large settings.
