A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction and consistently softened terminals. Strokes are thick and uniform, with compact counters and minimal internal detail, producing strong, simplified silhouettes. Curves lean toward rounded-rectangle forms rather than perfect circles, and joins are smooth and blunt, creating a sturdy, cohesive texture in text. The lowercase is compact and highly legible at display sizes, with single-storey shapes and short, rounded arms and shoulders.
Best suited to display typography where impact and friendliness are priorities—posters, packaging, brand marks, and storefront or wayfinding-style signage. It also works well for short UI labels, badges, and promotional graphics when a soft, bold presence is needed without sharp edges.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like softness that reads as friendly rather than formal. Its chunky geometry and rounded corners give it a retro, signage-like warmth, lending a casual, cheerful voice to headlines and short messages.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a soft, approachable personality, using superelliptical forms to keep letters compact, sturdy, and immediately readable. Its simplified shapes and rounded terminals suggest an intention toward modern-retro display use and brand-forward applications where warmth and impact must coexist.
The design maintains a consistent rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, emphasizing solid mass and clear silhouettes. Numerals and letters share the same rounded-rectangle logic, supporting cohesive branding and punchy, high-contrast-in-context word shapes.
