A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and softly squared curves. Strokes remain consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating dense interior counters and a strong, even color on the page. Uppercase forms are compact and blocky (notably the squared-shoulder E/F and wide-bowled D/O), while lowercase shows single-storey a and g with simple, sturdy construction. Diacritics and dots are bold and circular, and the numerals match the letterforms with large, closed shapes and simplified joins.
Best suited to display applications where bold presence is the goal: headlines, posters, packaging, and branding marks. It can work for short subheads or calls-to-action, especially where a friendly, high-impact voice is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly retro, poster-like presence. Its oversized curves and compact counters give it a toy-like warmth while still reading as assertive and attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact with rounded, approachable shapes—prioritizing strong silhouettes, simple construction, and a consistent, graphic rhythm for display settings.
The design favors simplified geometry and sturdy joins over delicate detail, producing strong silhouette recognition at larger sizes. Spacing feels generous for such heavy shapes, helping lines of text avoid clumping despite the dense counters.
