A heavy, rounded sans with smooth curves and fully softened terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and counters are generous, giving letters an open, high-legibility feel. Proportions lean slightly wide and steady, with simple geometric construction in rounds like O/C/G and sturdy, compact joins in M/N. The lowercase is clean and contemporary, with a single-storey a and g and short, rounded extenders that keep the texture even across words.
Well-suited to friendly brand identities, packaging, and headline settings where a soft, inviting presence is desired. It also works for app interfaces, signage, and short-to-medium text at larger sizes where the rounded forms and generous counters help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a cheerful, kid-friendly softness rather than a sharp corporate edge. Rounded endings and buoyant curves create a welcoming voice that reads as easygoing and optimistic.
Designed to deliver a contemporary sans voice with softened geometry—prioritizing approachability, strong presence, and easy readability. The consistent stroke weight and rounded terminals suggest an intent to feel modern and personable while staying clean and functional.
Numbers are similarly rounded and substantial, matching the letterforms closely for cohesive UI and display use. The dot and punctuation shapes appear circular and bold, reinforcing the soft, chunky rhythm in running text.
