A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and softly squared terminals. Strokes are thick and even, with smooth, circular bowls and generous internal counters that keep the letterforms readable at large sizes. The geometry mixes round curves with subtly flattened sides and corners, giving shapes a sturdy, “molded” feel. Lowercase forms are simple and open, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a rounded, footless-looking t; punctuation and numerals follow the same thick, softened construction.
Best suited to display use such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short emphatic messaging where its chunky forms can carry personality. It can also work for UI labels or signage when set with ample size and spacing to preserve counters and prevent crowding.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, with a slightly retro, toy-like sturdiness. Its rounded corners and inflated shapes feel informal and welcoming, leaning more toward fun and friendliness than precision or severity.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly voice through rounded, simplified construction and sturdy proportions, prioritizing immediate impact and approachability in display settings.
In text, the dense weight creates strong horizontal presence and a rhythmic, bouncy texture, especially where rounded joins repeat (m, n, u, w). The wide caps and large curves make words feel spacious, while the thick strokes and short extenders keep the silhouette compact.
