A rounded, humanist sans with softly tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that give many joins a slightly calligraphic, ink-trap-like bite. Curves are generous and open, with wide counters in letters like O, e, and a, and a steady rhythm that stays readable even as details add character. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly condensed in their inner spaces (notably B and R), while lowercase shows livelier shaping—especially the two-storey g and the curled descenders on j and y. Numerals are smooth and rounded, with a distinctly curved 2 and open, flowing 3 and 5 that match the letterforms’ soft terminal logic.
This font suits branding and packaging that benefit from warmth and personality, as well as editorial headlines where a friendly voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It also performs well in posters and short display copy, where the terminal shaping and rounded curves can read as a distinctive signature.
The overall tone is approachable and warm, with a lightly whimsical edge coming from the flared terminals and subtly pinched joins. It suggests a contemporary take on retro signage and editorial display, balancing friendliness with enough structure to feel dependable rather than decorative.
The type appears designed to deliver an approachable sans voice with added individuality through flared terminals and gently notched joins, creating a recognizable texture in words. The aim seems to be a display-forward, brandable style that remains legible and even in longer lines of text.
The design’s character is most evident in the terminals and joints: many strokes end with a soft wedge or flare, and some intersections show a small notch that helps separate shapes at larger sizes. Lowercase bowls and shoulders maintain consistent curvature, while diagonals (V, W, Y) keep a firm, confident stance without becoming sharp.
