A heavy, rounded sans with broad, cushiony strokes and softened corners throughout. Curves are built from near-circular bowls and open, generous apertures, while terminals tend to end in flat, squared-off cuts that keep the silhouettes stable. Proportions are compact with wide counters for the weight, and the overall rhythm is even and blocky rather than delicate. Numerals are similarly robust and simple, with clear, high-impact shapes suited to display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short text where impact matters—posters, brand marks, packaging, and storefront or wayfinding-style signage. The weight and open counters help it hold up well in bold statements, badges, and marketing callouts, especially in high-contrast color setups.
The tone is warm and upbeat, leaning toward a cheerful, slightly retro signage feel. Its chunky forms and rounded geometry make it read as approachable and confident, with a casual friendliness that stays legible even when set large and loud.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, rounded voice: a bold sans meant for attention-grabbing display typography that stays clean and readable while adding a touch of playful personality.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the a and g), reinforcing an informal, contemporary voice. Some letters have subtly angled or notched joins and cut-ins (e.g., in diagonals and the Q tail), adding character without breaking the overall smooth, rounded system.
