A compact sans with heavy, rounded strokes and a distinctly soft, superellipse construction. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle forms, with small counters and generous corner radii that keep shapes smooth and cohesive. Stems are thick and even, joins are blunt, and terminals often end in softly squared caps, giving letters a sturdy, toy-block solidity. Spacing and rhythm feel lively rather than rigid, with slight width differences across glyphs contributing to an informal texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium copy where a bold, friendly voice is desired—such as posters, playful branding, packaging, event graphics, and logo wordmarks. It can work in larger UI labels or signage when an approachable, informal tone is preferred over strict neutrality.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, with a mildly retro, cartoon-leaning friendliness. Its chunky, rounded silhouettes read as approachable and non-technical, projecting a casual, handcrafted charm without becoming overtly script-like or decorative.
The design appears intended to blend strong impact with soft, rounded geometry, prioritizing friendliness and visual consistency over crisp, text-centric precision. Its superellipse-based shapes and compact proportions suggest a display-oriented sans meant to feel approachable and characterful in branding and titling.
Capitals are tall and condensed with simplified interior shapes, while lowercase maintains clear, single-storey-style simplicity where applicable and keeps counters tight for punchy color. Numerals share the same rounded-rectangle logic, producing a cohesive, display-forward set that stays consistent across letters and figures.
