A heavy, rounded sans with chunky geometry and softened corners. Strokes are broad and consistent, with compact interior counters and generous, bulb-like curves in letters such as C, G, O, and S. Terminals are mostly blunt with slight shaping that creates a cut, almost scooped feel in some forms, giving the outlines a lively, hand-cut rhythm despite the overall clean construction. The x-height reads tall, lowercase forms are stout, and numerals match the same dense, blocky presence for strong color on the page.
Best suited to large-scale applications such as headlines, posters, and bold branding where the thick, rounded silhouettes can dominate the layout. It also fits playful packaging, event graphics, and signage that benefits from a friendly but high-impact voice.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a distinctly playful, retro personality. Its rounded massing and compact counters give it a cartoon-friendly warmth, while the wide stance and solid silhouettes keep it loud and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, approachable feel, combining simple rounded construction with subtle cut-in details to keep the letterforms energetic and distinctive in display settings.
In text, the font produces a very dark typographic color and tight-looking internal whitespace, so spacing and line breaks become important for readability at smaller sizes. The shapes remain clear at display sizes where the rounded proportions and cut-like details become part of the character.
