A heavy, rounded sans with smooth, geometric construction and generous curves in bowls and terminals. Letterforms are broad and sturdy, with mostly even stroke color and softened corners that keep the overall texture friendly despite the mass. Counters are compact and often squarish-rounded, and several glyphs show distinctive horizontal cut-ins/ink-trap-like notches that add snap to joins and interior spaces. The uppercase set reads solid and poster-ready, while the lowercase uses single-storey forms and simplified structures that maintain a consistent, blocky rhythm. Numerals match the same chunky geometry, with tight apertures and strong silhouettes.
Works best for display typography such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its heavy weight and rounded geometry can carry impact. It also suits playful branding, product labels, and bold UI moments like hero banners or app headers where legibility at large sizes is key.
The tone is bold and approachable, combining a toy-like friendliness with a slightly industrial, retro-digital flavor. The notched details and tight counters give it a purposeful, engineered feel, while the rounded geometry keeps it upbeat and informal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, contemporary voice, using rounded geometric forms and distinctive cut-in details to create a recognizable, branded texture. The simplified lowercase and consistent stroke behavior suggest an emphasis on clarity and strong silhouettes in display settings.
The font’s strong silhouettes and compact interiors favor short bursts of text over dense paragraphs. The repeated notch/cut detail becomes a defining motif at display sizes, creating a lively texture without relying on slant or contrast shifts.
