A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with only modest contrast and rounded terminals, producing compact counters and a strong, blocky silhouette. Proportions lean toward a tall x-height with short ascenders and descenders, and the overall rhythm feels slightly irregular in width from glyph to glyph, adding a hand-cut, lively texture. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, softened geometry, staying legible through simplified shapes and generous interior rounding.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where its bold, rounded shapes can carry personality. It also works well for packaging, stickers, short logotypes, and kid-friendly or casual branding that benefits from a soft, chunky voice.
The font projects a warm, upbeat tone with a slightly retro, cartoon-adjacent friendliness. Its dense, cushioned forms feel approachable and humorous while still reading as confident and attention-getting.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with friendly, rounded geometry and simplified forms, prioritizing bold readability and character over neutral text-setting. The slightly variable widths and superelliptical curves suggest an aim for a playful, handcrafted feel within a clean sans framework.
The softened rectangular curves and tight apertures create a strong inked presence at display sizes, with an intentionally chunky texture that can feel energetic in headlines. At smaller sizes, the dense counters and heavy weight can reduce clarity, especially in more complex letterforms.
