A high-contrast sans with rounded, softly squared forms and visibly flared stroke endings. Curves are generously open and circular, while verticals often read as slightly tapered or wedge-like, giving the letters a lively, hand-cut rhythm without becoming irregular. Counters are mostly wide and clean, and many lowercase forms lean on single-storey constructions with prominent round terminals; dots are circular and punctuation feels simplified and sturdy. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic, mixing straight segments with broad curves for strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, brand marks, packaging, posters, and social graphics where its terminal flair and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short UI labels or pull quotes when a friendly, distinctive tone is desired, but its personality is strongest in larger sizes and shorter runs.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a quirky, retro energy driven by its rounded geometry and exaggerated terminals. It feels approachable and characterful rather than neutral, suggesting a voice that is upbeat, contemporary, and slightly whimsical.
Likely designed to offer a modern, characterful sans that stands apart from neutral grotesks by using contrast and rounded terminals to create memorable word shapes. The emphasis appears to be on expressive readability for display typography rather than strict minimalism.
The design relies on distinctive terminal shaping to create contrast and personality, so letter spacing and word shapes can feel animated at display sizes. Uppercase forms maintain a clean, geometric presence, while the lowercase adds most of the charm through round joins, ball-like terminals, and simplified constructions.
