A heavy, clean sans with softened corners and subtly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Curves are full and compact, with rounded bowls and open counters that keep letters readable at larger sizes. Strokes stay fairly even, but terminals often end with gentle rounding or slight flare, creating a bouncy rhythm across words. Proportions feel moderately compact in the lowercase, while capitals read strong and stable with broad, simple shapes.
Best suited for display work such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its rounded strength and playful rhythm can be appreciated. It also works well in short UI or social-media phrases that need a friendly, approachable tone, especially when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a lightly whimsical bounce that feels human rather than mechanical. It suggests a friendly, everyday voice—confident and energetic without becoming loud or aggressive. The slight quirk in curves and joins gives it a retro-leaning charm suitable for cheerful messaging.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a modern sans with a softer, more personable texture. Its rounded terminals and slightly quirky shaping aim to make bold messaging feel welcoming and fun rather than purely utilitarian.
The italicless, straightforward construction is complemented by soft terminal treatment that reduces harshness in dense text. Numerals match the letterforms’ rounded, sturdy feel, making mixed text and numbers look cohesive in headings and short callouts.
