A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and monoline strokes. Forms are built from broad curves and flattened terminals, producing pill-like horizontals and gentle joins. Counters are generous and mostly oval, with compact apertures that keep the silhouette cohesive at display sizes. Proportions lean wide, with a relaxed rhythm and slightly idiosyncratic widths between letters, giving the alphabet a handmade, cartoon-like regularity rather than strict geometric uniformity.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short promotional copy where its wide, rounded shapes can be appreciated. It works well for playful branding, packaging, posters, and entertainment or family-oriented applications, and can add a friendly, retro accent to UI labels or signage when used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like softness that reads as friendly and non-technical. Its rounded construction and chunky presence evoke a retro, pop sensibility that feels casual and welcoming rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a soft, high-impact display voice: thick strokes, rounded geometry, and spacious counters that maintain clarity while emphasizing friendliness. Its slightly relaxed spacing and width variation suggest a deliberate move away from strict neutrality toward character and charm.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, softened geometry, with notably round O/C forms and a single-storey look across many lowercase shapes. Numerals match the letterforms with wide, rounded outlines and simple, high-visibility structures suited to short strings and headings.
