A heavy, rounded sans with inflated bowl shapes, softened corners, and a distinctly “puffed” silhouette. Strokes stay broadly even, with gentle modulation only where curves tighten. Terminals are blunt and rounded, counters are compact, and many forms lean toward squarish circles, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Lowercase features single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a compact, rounded t; the numerals follow the same soft, chunky construction for a cohesive set.
Works best for short, high-visibility copy such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and promotional graphics where a friendly, attention-grabbing voice is needed. It can also suit children’s media and casual signage, especially when set large with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a cartoon-like buoyancy that reads as cheerful and informal. Its weight and rounded construction add a nostalgic, display-friendly feel that’s more fun than formal.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a soft, approachable personality, using rounded geometry and compact counters to create a bold, cuddly display texture. The letterforms emphasize friendliness and impact over neutrality and long-form readability.
At text sizes the tight counters and heavy joins create a dark, continuous rhythm, making it best when given generous tracking and line spacing. The most distinctive character comes from the swollen curves and stubby, rounded terminals that keep even sharp letters (like K, V, W, X) feeling soft.
