A rounded sans with softly sculpted strokes and subtly flared, teardrop-like terminals. The letterforms emphasize circular and oval construction, with open counters and a steady, moderately contrasted stroke that stays smooth through joins. Uppercase shapes are broad and stable, while lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and gently curved shoulders that keep the texture even. Numerals follow the same soft, bulbous logic with clear, rounded silhouettes and comfortable interior space.
Well-suited to branding and packaging where a friendly, rounded voice is needed, as well as posters and headline work that benefits from distinctive terminals. In editorial or marketing copy, it can add warmth and personality while staying legible thanks to its open counters and steady texture. It also works effectively for signage or display text where a soft, approachable tone is desired.
The overall tone is warm and informal, leaning playful without becoming childish. Its rounded edges and buoyant curves evoke a slightly retro, hand-touched friendliness that feels inviting and low-pressure. The rhythm reads as conversational and personable, suitable for designs that want approachability over formality.
The design appears intended to blend the cleanliness of a rounded sans with a more characterful, slightly calligraphic terminal treatment. It aims for a welcoming, contemporary readability while adding enough idiosyncrasy to stand out in display and brand-forward contexts.
Terminals often finish with a small flare that adds character and a mild calligraphic echo, especially visible in curves and diagonals. The proportions and open shapes help maintain clarity in paragraph settings, while the distinctive terminal treatment keeps the face recognizable in larger sizes.
