A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes remain broadly even, with minimal modulation and closed counters that feel tight but stable at display sizes. Terminals are blunt and rounded rather than sharply cut, and corners are consistently softened, producing a sturdy, pillow-like silhouette. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) with short, stout joins, while figures are similarly blocky with rounded corners and clear, headline-oriented shapes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where strong presence and a friendly character are desired. It also works well for kids’ content, casual branding, and event promotions, especially in short lines where its compact counters won’t hinder readability.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a bouncy, informal rhythm that reads as playful and slightly retro. Its chunky proportions and softened geometry give it a toy-like, friendly voice suited to casual, upbeat messaging rather than formal or technical settings.
Likely designed to deliver an attention-grabbing, approachable display voice built from rounded, superellipse-like forms. The emphasis appears to be on solid readability at larger sizes and a distinctive, cheerful texture for branding and promotional typography.
Spacing and internal apertures feel intentionally compact, which increases the solid, poster-like color on the page. The texture stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, supporting bold headlines and short bursts of text where personality is a priority.
