A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and generously curved terminals. Strokes are thick and dark overall, with occasional thinning at joins and in counters that gives a subtly sculpted feel rather than a purely monoline build. Curves are dominant (notably in C, G, O, S), while straight strokes end in softly squared, rounded caps; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are broad and stable. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, round dots on i/j, and a short, sturdy t with a small crossbar; numerals are similarly rounded and prominent, with clear, open shapes in 2, 3, 6, and 9.
Best suited to headlines and short emphatic text where its heavy rounded forms can carry personality—posters, storefront or event signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for playful UI accents or section headers, but its weight suggests using it sparingly for longer passages.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly retro, display-forward character. Its soft geometry and thick weight read as confident and cheerful rather than austere, giving it a kid-friendly and pop-leaning voice.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an inviting, rounded feel—prioritizing strong presence, legibility at display sizes, and a lively, contemporary-retro rhythm over strict neutrality.
Spacing looks comfortable at large sizes, and the dense black shapes create strong word silhouettes. The combination of rounded forms and small, crisp cut-ins at some joins adds visual texture that keeps large text from feeling overly blobby.
