A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and smooth, swelling curves. Strokes are consistently thick with gently tapered joins, producing a soft, inflated silhouette rather than a rigid geometric feel. The lowercase shows a friendly, humanist construction with open apertures (notably in c, e, s) and rounded terminals; the single-storey a and g reinforce the informal tone. Numerals follow the same buoyant, rounded logic, with a full, circular 0 and curvy 2/3 forms.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short display copy where its rounded weight and friendly character can carry the message. It can also work for signage and UI accents at larger sizes, where the open apertures and sturdy shapes remain clear.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly retro, sign-painter friendliness. Its rounded weight and open shapes read as welcoming and casual rather than clinical, making it feel energetic without becoming aggressive.
Likely intended as a personable display sans that combines strong presence with softened geometry. The design aims for high impact while maintaining warmth and legibility through open counters and rounded terminals.
The design relies on generous curves and compact interior counters, creating strong color on the page. In text, the rhythm feels bouncy due to round bowls, softened corners, and subtly animated terminals that keep large passages from feeling static.
