A rounded sans with soft, bulb-like terminals and subtly flared joins that give strokes a slightly “inked” feel. Curves are generous and smooth, with broadly circular counters (notably in O/o and 0) and a consistent, low-contrast stroke that keeps texture even in running text. Several forms show gentle wedge-like shaping at stroke ends and inside corners, creating a lively rhythm and a slightly calligraphic warmth without leaning into true serif behavior. The overall proportions are open and spacious, with wide letterforms and clear counters supporting legibility at display and text sizes.
Well-suited for headlines, branding, packaging, and poster work where a friendly, rounded texture is desirable. In short paragraphs and captions it maintains an even color and good counter openness, making it a workable choice for editorial pull quotes, marketing copy, and approachable UI or product messaging.
The tone reads approachable and upbeat, with a mild retro flavor reminiscent of mid-century signage and friendly editorial headlines. Rounded terminals and softened corners reduce rigidity, giving the font a welcoming, informal voice that feels more personable than technical.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a simple sans with softer, more characterful shaping—using rounded terminals and subtle flares to add warmth and personality while retaining clean silhouettes.
Distinctive moments include the single-storey a and g, a curved descender on y, and softly sculpted diagonals on letters like K, R, and X that avoid harsh intersections. Numerals are rounded and sturdy, with a particularly circular 0 and a smooth, open 2 and 3, keeping the set cohesive in branding and UI-style number use.
