A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact internal economy. Strokes are monolinear with softened corners and generous curves, giving letters a sculpted, almost cutout feel. Counters tend to be small and tightly shaped (notably in O, e, a, and 8), while joins and terminals stay blunt and sturdy. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a round i dot, and a generally even, steady rhythm that reads as intentionally thick and blocky rather than geometric-precise.
Best suited to display settings where large, high-impact letterforms are needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding marks. It also works well for informal signage and short callouts, where its rounded shapes and compact counters remain clear at larger sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a bold, cartoon-adjacent friendliness. Its wide, rounded masses create a confident, attention-grabbing presence that feels casual and slightly retro, prioritizing charm and impact over refinement.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a friendly, rounded voice, combining sturdy monoline structure with playful cuts and tight counters to stand out in branding and display typography.
Several forms feature distinctive notches and angled cuts (seen in letters like S, G, and some numerals), adding a lively, custom-drawn character. The wide set and dense fill make spacing and line breaks visually prominent, especially in longer text blocks.
