A heavy, rounded sans with broad, compact letterforms and soft, blunted corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing sturdy shapes and dense, dark word images. Curves are generous and geometric-leaning, while joins and terminals stay smooth and simplified, giving counters a tight, punchy feel. Spacing appears moderately tight at display sizes, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than strictly uniform.
Best suited to display settings where bold, friendly impact is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and attention-grabbing brand moments. It also works well for playful editorial callouts and short UI or social-media text where high visibility and a warm tone are priorities.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly mischievous, cartoony energy. Its weight and rounded geometry feel friendly and informal, suggesting a modern, fun-forward voice that reads as confident without becoming aggressive.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft, approachable personality. The combination of thick strokes, rounded construction, and compact counters suggests an intention to stay readable at large sizes while projecting a fun, contemporary character.
Several forms show intentionally idiosyncratic, slightly irregular curves that add character and a hand-tuned feel, especially noticeable in the lowercase. Numerals are stout and highly legible with strong silhouettes, matching the letters’ rounded, compact construction.
