A rounded, display-oriented sans with thick, soft-cornered strokes and a consistent inline that creates a hollowed, double-line look. An offset dark layer acts like a built-in shadow, giving each glyph a lifted, dimensional presence. Counters are generous and mostly circular, terminals are blunted, and curves dominate over sharp joins, producing a friendly rhythm. The overall construction is clean and uniform, with simple geometric forms and steady stroke behavior across letters and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as posters, title cards, packaging fronts, and playful branding. It also works well for kids-oriented materials, event promos, and social graphics where a dimensional outline can add energy without needing additional effects.
The font projects a lighthearted, nostalgic tone—part cartoon signage, part mid-century headline styling. Its inline plus shadow effect reads as upbeat and attention-getting rather than formal, with a craft-like charm that feels approachable and fun.
Designed to provide instant depth and personality through an integrated inline and offset shadow, delivering a ready-made display look. The rounded construction prioritizes friendliness and legibility in large settings while emphasizing a decorative, attention-forward presence.
The layered treatment increases visual texture, so the face is strongest at larger sizes where the inline and shadow separation stays crisp. The shadow direction is consistent, which helps words read as cohesive blocks and reinforces the dimensional, sticker-like effect.
