A rounded, monoline sans with softly curved strokes and gently eased terminals that give letters a smooth, almost hand-drawn finish. Curves are built from broad circular forms with open counters (notably in C, G, S, a, e), while verticals and diagonals stay simple and unembellished. The lowercase has compact proportions with short extenders relative to the cap height, and overall spacing feels even and readable in continuous text. Numerals follow the same rounded construction, with consistent stroke thickness and softly shaped joins.
Well-suited to friendly branding, packaging, posters, and headline settings where a clean but personable voice is desired. It also works nicely for editorial pull quotes, UI labels, and educational or children-oriented materials thanks to its open shapes and soft rhythm.
The overall tone is warm and informal, balancing clarity with a relaxed, personable character. Its rounded construction and softened ends keep it from feeling rigid or technical, making it feel welcoming and lightly playful without becoming overly quirky.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, modern sans with rounded warmth—combining simple geometry and monoline strokes to create an approachable texture in both alphabet grids and running text.
Round letters remain quite open, aiding legibility at display sizes and in short text blocks. Diagonals (such as in K, V, W, X, Y) keep a straightforward geometry, while bowls and shoulders maintain a consistently smooth curvature across the set.
