A rounded sans with monoline strokes and softened terminals that read as slightly hand-drawn while remaining structurally consistent. Forms lean on circular and oval geometry with generous curves, open apertures, and wide, calm counters. Proportions are compact in the lowercase, with simple single-storey constructions and a gently uneven rhythm that gives words a light, buoyant texture. The uppercase is clean and straightforward, mixing broad round shapes (C, O, Q) with gently tapered joins in diagonals (V, W, Y) and smooth, stubby horizontals.
Works well for short to medium text where a friendly, informal tone is desired—such as children’s materials, casual packaging, café menus, posters, and approachable brand identities. Its rounded shapes and open counters also make it a good fit for UI labels or signage when a softer personality is preferred over a technical look.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a playful, kid-friendly friendliness rather than a corporate neutrality. Rounded corners and bouncy spacing give it an easygoing voice that feels conversational and inviting, suitable for cheerful and informal messaging.
Likely designed to provide a modern rounded sans that feels human and cheerful, combining simple geometric construction with subtle hand-made warmth for easy, approachable reading.
Punctuation and numerals follow the same soft, rounded logic; the numerals are clear and friendly with simple, open shapes. The dot on i/j is a neat circle, and the overall texture stays smooth at text sizes, with slightly quirky letterform nuances that add character without becoming novelty.
