A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes, soft corners, and compact internal counters. Curves are smooth and circular, while terminals and joins stay blunt and sturdy, producing a dense, high-impact silhouette. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with simple, geometric construction, and the overall rhythm feels slightly bouncy due to broad curves and tight apertures. Numerals are similarly bold and simplified, prioritizing solid shapes over fine detail.
Best suited to display settings where bold, rounded letterforms are meant to grab attention—headlines, posters, storefront or event signage, and branding systems that want a friendly, energetic voice. It can also work for packaging and social graphics where large type and short phrases dominate.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a playful, retro-leaning presence that reads as fun and informal. Its soft geometry and oversized weight give it a friendly, toy-like confidence that feels expressive rather than corporate.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with soft, geometric shapes—combining a sturdy, simplified construction with an inviting, playful feel for attention-heavy typography.
Spacing and proportions favor strong word shapes at larger sizes; smaller sizes may feel dark because of tight counters and narrow openings in letters like “e,” “s,” and “a.” The forms maintain a consistent, rounded logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive display personality.
