A heavy, rounded sans with generously softened terminals and corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick and smooth, producing compact counters and a strong, even color on the page. Uppercase forms are broad and simplified, while the lowercase keeps single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and a short-armed r, reinforcing an informal, streamlined construction. Curves dominate and joins are cushioned rather than sharp, with minimal contrast and a sturdy baseline presence that holds up well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging, posters, and short emphatic copy where its rounded weight can carry personality and visibility. It also fits playful branding and youth- or family-oriented design, and works well for badges, labels, and bold UI callouts where a friendly tone is desired.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a bubbly, toy-like friendliness that reads as fun rather than formal. Its softened geometry and chunky rhythm suggest a retro-leaning, family-friendly personality suited to lighthearted messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum legibility and charm through simplified, rounded shapes and consistently thick strokes, prioritizing a cheerful voice and strong display impact over formal text nuance.
Large bowls and tight apertures create a bold silhouette and strong impact, while the rounded punctuation and circular interiors (e.g., O/0) maintain a cohesive, pillowy texture. The figures are similarly rounded and simplified, matching the letterforms’ soft, high-impact look.
