A heavy, rounded sans with softly inflated strokes and consistently curved terminals. The design has a clear rightward slant and a gently uneven, hand-drawn rhythm that keeps forms lively while remaining legible. Counters are compact but open enough at display sizes, with rounded joins and minimal sharp corners throughout. Uppercase shapes read sturdy and simple, while lowercase forms are more animated, with single-storey a and g and ball-like dots on i and j.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a friendly voice. It also fits playful editorial callouts and children’s or family-oriented media where softness and approachability are important.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, with a casual, slightly whimsical personality. Its soft corners and bouncy slant suggest friendliness rather than formality, making it feel inviting and energetic.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with a soft, welcoming silhouette. Its rounded terminals, integrated slant, and simplified shapes prioritize charm and clarity in display settings over a strict, technical feel.
Digit forms are bold and simplified with rounded corners, matching the letterforms closely. The italic angle is built into the shapes rather than feeling like a mechanical slant, and the spacing appears tuned for punchy headlines rather than dense text.
