A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and generously curved joins that keep shapes smooth rather than sharp. Counters are relatively small for the weight, giving letters a dense, punchy color, while round forms (O, C, G, o, e) read strongly geometric. The lowercase uses single-storey forms and a simple, sturdy construction, with short ascenders/descenders that maintain a compact texture in text.
Best suited for display use where strong presence and legibility at size are priorities—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when a friendly, high-impact look is desired, but its dense counters and heavy texture make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, with a chunky, almost toy-like solidity that feels modern-retro. Its rounded geometry and tight counters give it a confident, friendly voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than subtlety.
Likely designed as a high-impact rounded sans that emphasizes warmth and visibility. The geometry, softened corners, and compact internal space suggest an intention to feel inviting while staying loud and unmistakable in large-scale typography.
In running text, the wide set and strong blackness create a highly assertive rhythm, especially in all-caps. Numerals are equally bold and rounded, matching the letterforms for consistent impact in headlines and large display settings.
