A very heavy, rounded sans with softly swollen strokes and clear, intentional contrast between stems and joins. Terminals are blunted and often slightly flared, giving letters a melted, cushiony silhouette rather than a crisp geometric edge. Curves dominate the construction, with circular bowls and smooth transitions, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) keep a gentle, brush-like taper. Spacing reads open for the weight, and the rhythm feels lively due to small width shifts and asymmetries in shapes like S, a, and g.
Best suited for display work such as headlines, posters, and short brand statements where the bold, rounded personality can lead. It also fits packaging, stickers, and youth-oriented or playful identities, and can work for attention-grabbing UI labels or signage when set with ample spacing.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a nostalgic, cartoon-like warmth. Its soft, bouncy forms suggest informality and fun rather than technical precision, making the voice feel friendly and inviting.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, friendly impact with a hand-made, retro sensibility. It prioritizes character and charm—using rounded forms and punchy contrast to create an expressive, attention-forward voice for display typography.
Uppercase characters are compact and chunky, with simplified counters that stay readable at display sizes. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and a tall, friendly d with a rounded ascender; numerals are equally bulbous, with a distinctive 2 and 3 and a figure 8 that reads like stacked loops. The design’s contrast and rounded terminals add texture, so it benefits from generous tracking and sufficient size in longer lines.
