A heavy, rounded sans with a compact, superellipse-driven construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating a dense, poster-like texture. Curves tend toward squared-off rounds, and many joins and terminals feel carved or slightly notched, giving the outlines a subtly irregular, cutout quality while remaining highly uniform in weight. Counters are generally tight but clearly maintained, and the overall rhythm reads as bold, stable shapes with a slightly condensed, tightly packed feel in running text.
Best suited for display settings where strong silhouette and impact matter: posters, bold headlines, brand marks, product packaging, and short signage copy. It can work for brief pull quotes or playful editorial titling, but the dense weight and compact interior spaces make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The tone is upbeat and attention-seeking, with a friendly, cartoonish solidity that recalls mid-century display lettering and playful packaging typography. Its chunky silhouettes and softened geometry feel approachable rather than aggressive, while the small quirks in terminals add personality and a handmade edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with friendly, rounded geometry and a distinctive cutout-like voice. It prioritizes bold, stable forms and consistent weight to remain readable and expressive in large applications, while adding small idiosyncrasies to avoid a purely geometric, sterile feel.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and simplified structures that emphasize legibility at display sizes. Punctuation and dots (e.g., i/j) appear as sturdy, squared rounds that match the font’s overall mass. Numerals are broad and weighty, designed to hold their presence alongside caps without looking delicate.
