A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and soft, bulbous curves. Strokes are thick and generally even, with subtly irregular, hand-cut edges that give counters and terminals a slightly organic feel. Curves dominate the construction (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, and X remain broad and sturdy. Counters are small and somewhat pinched by the weight, producing a dense, poster-ready texture with a lively rhythm.
Best suited for display sizes where its dense weight and rounded shapes can deliver strong presence—posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and bold social graphics. It also fits playful editorial accents and kid-focused or casual lifestyle branding where warmth and visibility matter more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly retro, hand-made character. Its chunky silhouettes and softened corners read as friendly and humorous rather than formal, lending an informal, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to provide a strong, friendly display voice: a rounded, high-impact sans that feels hand-touched and approachable, optimized for short bursts of text and recognizable word shapes.
Lowercase forms lean toward simple, geometric silhouettes with single-storey shapes where applicable, and the dot on i/j appears as a solid, rounded mark. Numerals follow the same stout, rounded logic and feel designed for impact over fine detail.
