A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and strongly simplified geometry. Strokes are monolinear with soft corners and bulbous terminals, producing thick, smooth silhouettes rather than sharp transitions. Counters are generally small and circular to oval, with open shapes kept clear through generous internal cutouts (notably in letters like O, P, and e). The uppercase feels blocky and stable, while the lowercase stays similarly stout with single-storey forms (a and g) and short ascenders/descenders, creating an even, dense texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where bold, friendly shapes can carry the message—headlines, posters, packaging, and storefront or event signage. It also fits logo wordmarks and short calls-to-action, especially when a playful, rounded voice is desired; for longer text, its dense color suggests using larger sizes and ample spacing.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a toy-like, bubbly solidity that reads as energetic rather than formal. Its rounded massing and compact rhythm give it a retro display flavor—friendly, upbeat, and attention-grabbing without feeling aggressive.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a warm, rounded personality: a compact, geometric sans that stays highly legible at display sizes while projecting a playful, retro-leaning character.
Diagonal strokes are simplified and thick, giving letters like K, V, W, X, and Y a robust, poster-like presence. Numerals follow the same rounded, compact logic, with a particularly soft, full-bodied 0 and broad, steady curves in 6/8/9 that reinforce the cohesive, geometric feel.
