A heavy, rounded sans with soft, fully curved terminals and a smooth, low-contrast stroke. Counters are generously open and mostly circular, giving letters like O, Q, and 8 a buoyant, inflated feel. The lowercase is compact with sturdy stems and simple, single-storey forms, while joins and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay broad and rounded rather than sharp. Overall spacing reads slightly tight and the silhouettes feel cohesive and blocky, prioritizing clarity and impact over fine detail.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly, high-impact voice is needed: headlines, brand marks and wordmarks, packaging, posters, and social graphics. It can work for UI labels or signage when set large enough, where the soft terminals help maintain legibility and reduce visual harshness.
The tone is warm and easygoing, with a toy-like softness that feels inviting rather than technical. Its rounded forms and chunky rhythm suggest friendliness and informality, making text feel upbeat and accessible.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum approachability and visual punch through rounded endings, simplified letterforms, and a dense, even texture. It favors an informal, contemporary voice that stays readable while feeling soft and personable.
The numerals match the same rounded, weighty construction, with particularly circular bowls and simplified shapes that hold up well at display sizes. The overall texture is dense and even, producing a strong typographic color in paragraphs and headlines.
