A heavy, rounded sans with geometric construction and broadly circular bowls. Strokes stay even and dense, with tight internal counters that create a compact, high-impact silhouette. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, with clean joins and simplified terminals; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel sturdy rather than sharp. Lowercase keeps the same chunky rhythm, using single-storey a and g, a closed, rounded e with a compact aperture, and a short-armed r. Numerals follow the same soft geometry, with strong, simple shapes and substantial weight that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, packaging, and short promotional copy where its weight and rounded geometry can carry a message at a glance. It also works well for signage and social graphics, especially when strong contrast against the background is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining bold confidence with soft, rounded friendliness. Its large shapes and compressed counters give it a punchy, poster-like presence that feels contemporary and slightly playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric voice—prioritizing bold legibility and a cohesive rounded silhouette for modern display typography.
Spacing appears generous enough for headlines, but the small counters and heavy massing can cause dark texture in longer lines. The dot on i/j is notably round and prominent, reinforcing the bubbly, geometric character.
