A heavy, rounded sans with softly inflated strokes and consistently curved terminals. Forms are built from broad, circular bowls and compact counters, with minimal contrast and a generally even stroke presence throughout. Corners are thoroughly rounded, joins are cushioned, and diagonal strokes (as in A, V, W, X, Y) read as thick, blunt wedges rather than sharp points. Lowercase shapes are simple and open, with single-storey a and g and a compact, friendly rhythm; numerals follow the same rounded, sturdy construction for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium copy where a bold, friendly personality is desired—headlines, logos, packaging, posters, and social graphics. It can also work for children’s content and casual wayfinding where rounded shapes and strong legibility at a glance are priorities.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, leaning toward a toy-like, optimistic voice. Its soft geometry and generous curves feel informal and welcoming, making it more expressive than neutral without becoming decorative.
Designed to deliver maximum warmth and impact through soft, rounded construction and high visual density. The intent appears to be an approachable display voice that stays clean and modern while signaling fun and friendliness.
The punctuation and dots appear circular and substantial, helping maintain color and presence in larger text. The lowercase t and f have rounded, abbreviated cross features that keep the silhouette smooth and cohesive with the rest of the alphabet.
