A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared corners and generously curved bowls. Strokes are sturdy and even, with minimal modulation and a smooth, rubbery silhouette that keeps counters open despite the weight. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly rounded, giving letters a compact, cohesive feel; diagonals and joins (notably in V/W/Y and k) stay simplified and sturdy rather than sharp. Figures follow the same rounded, chunky construction, with wide, stable forms and clear interior spaces (especially 6/8/9).
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where its rounded weight and friendly shapes can carry personality. It also works well for short UI labels, stickers, and children’s or casual editorial accents where a soft, approachable voice is desired.
The overall tone is warm and easygoing, with a kid-friendly, casual character that feels welcoming rather than technical. Its soft geometry and thick rhythm suggest a lighthearted, contemporary friendliness suited to informal communication.
The design appears intended to provide a highly legible, personality-forward rounded sans that balances strong presence with gentle corners. It aims for an informal, modern friendliness that remains clear at a glance and consistent across letters and numerals.
Large round forms like O/C/G read particularly smooth and uniform, while letters with straight stems (E/F/H/I/L/T) retain a softly padded look through rounded corners. The lowercase keeps a single-storey feel where applicable and stays compact, supporting a consistent, approachable texture in paragraphs.
