A heavy, rounded sans with fully softened terminals and a consistently blobby stroke silhouette. Curves dominate the construction, with circular counters and generously rounded corners giving letters a pillowy, inflated feel. Proportions are broad and stable, with open apertures and uncomplicated joins that keep shapes readable at display sizes. The rhythm is steady but intentionally imperfect in a hand-drawn way, with subtle irregularities in stroke edges and curve tension that add warmth.
Best used for headlines, short paragraphs, and large-format copy where its bold, rounded shapes can breathe. It suits playful branding, kid-oriented materials, packaging, posters, and cheerful signage where a friendly, informal tone is desired.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, leaning toward a cartoon and handmade sensibility rather than a strict geometric voice. Its soft weight and rounded forms feel welcoming and non-threatening, making it well suited to lighthearted, family-friendly messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum friendliness and impact through rounded, inflated shapes and simplified letter construction. Its consistent softness and broad proportions suggest a focus on approachable display typography that remains legible while feeling handmade and fun.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and simple, rounded punctuation-like details (e.g., the i dot appears as a solid circle), reinforcing the informal character. Numerals follow the same soft, chunky logic, with smooth curves and wide footprints that read clearly in short strings.
