overfull
Crammed beyond capacity
Overfull means filled beyond capacity or comfortable limits.
A room can be overfull of furniture, a schedule overfull of appointments, a heart overfull of emotion.
The word emphasizes excess—not just full, but uncomfortably so: The bus was overfull, with passengers pressed against the doors.
