A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal spaces. Strokes are consistently thick with subtly softened corners, giving letters a solid, blocky silhouette without sharp joins. Curves are generous and elliptical, counters are small and sturdy, and terminals are generally blunt, producing an even, poster-like rhythm. The lowercase shows simple, geometric constructions (single-storey a and g) and the numerals match the same chunky, rounded structure for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a friendly, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when clarity at large sizes matters more than delicate detail.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly retro, display-forward friendliness. Its large, cushioned shapes feel confident and energetic, leaning more toward playful impact than restrained neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a warm, rounded geometry, providing a distinctive display sans that stays legible while projecting a playful, retro-leaning personality.
Wide capitals and tight counters create strong dark shapes, so spacing and line breaks become visually prominent at larger sizes. The diamond-shaped dots on i and j add a distinctive accent that reads as quirky and graphic in running text.
