A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and full, compact bowls. Strokes stay broadly even, with slightly pinched joins and subtly irregular terminals that add a hand-cut feel without becoming truly casual or script-like. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is sturdy and steady, with a slightly bouncy silhouette across mixed-case settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where a friendly, chunky presence is desirable. It can work for subheads and callouts in UI or editorial layouts when used with generous spacing, but the dense weight makes it less ideal for long body text at small sizes.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, retro-leaning confidence. Its chunky shapes and softened geometry give it a friendly, informal voice that reads as energetic rather than technical or austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice using rounded geometry and compact proportions, balancing clarity with a deliberately playful, slightly quirky finish.
Capitals are built from simple, bold shapes that stay clear at a glance, while the lowercase adds personality through rounded shoulders and compact apertures. Numerals are similarly stout and simplified, matching the letterforms’ soft, solid presence in display sizes.
