A very heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and inflated, blobby curves. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to finish in rounded, slightly irregular shapes that feel hand-cut rather than strictly geometric. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical, giving letters a lively, slightly lopsided rhythm. Uppercase forms are wide and sturdy, while lowercase shows single-storey shapes (notably a and g) with generous bowls and short, thick joins; overall spacing reads open and comfortable at display sizes.
Best suited to short, bold applications such as headlines, posters, logo lockups, packaging, and playful branding where a friendly, chunky voice is desired. It works especially well in large-scale text and punchy phrases, but the tight counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or dense paragraphs.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like, cartoonish warmth. Its subtle irregularity adds a handmade personality that reads friendly and informal, leaning toward playful retro signage rather than corporate neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver a high-impact, friendly display voice through rounded, simplified forms and a slightly handcrafted wobble. Its emphasis on soft geometry and strong silhouettes suggests an intention to feel welcoming, fun, and instantly legible in attention-grabbing contexts.
The design favors strong silhouettes and simplified internal structure, which helps characters stay recognizable at large sizes. The numerals share the same rounded, chunky construction, with prominent curves and compact apertures that keep the set visually cohesive.
