A rounded, contrasted sans with soft terminals and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes transition between thin verticals and fuller curves, giving counters a buoyant, inflated look, especially in round letters and bowls. The uppercase is compact with simplified construction (notably in E/F/T), while the lowercase maintains clear, open forms with single-storey a and g and a tall, minimal t. Numerals are similarly rounded and graphic, with a distinctive 8 formed by two stacked loops and a smooth, open 2/3.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short editorial callouts where its playful contrast and rounded shapes can be appreciated. It can also work for quotes or subheads when a warm, retro-leaning tone is desired.
The overall tone is friendly and characterful, blending a retro display feel with a casual, approachable voice. Its rounded geometry and springy contrast make it read as cheerful and slightly eccentric rather than strictly corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, friendly display sans that stands apart through rounded construction and expressive contrast, creating memorable word shapes without resorting to overt ornament.
Curves dominate the design, and many joins are softened, producing a cohesive, bubbly texture in words. The contrast is most apparent in straighter strokes versus the heavier curved sections, which adds sparkle at larger sizes while keeping the silhouette smooth.
