A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a sturdy, even stroke throughout. Curves are built from full, smooth bowls and generous counters, while corners are softened into subtle radiused joins rather than sharp vertices. Many glyphs show distinctive teardrop-like ink-trap notches or inset terminals at stroke ends and joins, adding a carved, decorative detail without changing the overall solid color. The lowercase is straightforward and highly legible, with simple single-storey forms (notably the a and g), and numerals that match the same chunky, rounded construction.
Best suited to display use where the rounded mass and inset terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where a friendly, high-impact voice is needed, though the strong weight and decorative detailing make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a noticeable retro flavor. The inset terminals give it a whimsical, crafted personality that reads as playful rather than formal, while the dense weight keeps it confident and attention-getting.
The design appears intended to combine a contemporary rounded sans skeleton with a distinctive inset-terminal motif, creating a memorable, high-impact display face that stays readable while projecting warmth and personality.
In running text, the heavy color and open counters help maintain clarity, but the decorative notches become a defining texture at larger sizes. Round letters (O, Q, C, G) feel especially full and smooth, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay stable and blocky, reinforcing the font’s sturdy rhythm.
