A rounded sans with a gently humanist construction and subtle stroke modulation that gives the forms a lightly hand-drawn feel without becoming script-like. Curves are soft and generously rounded, while many joins and terminals taper slightly, producing a lively rhythm across words. Uppercase shapes stay simple and legible, with open, clear bowls and smooth arches; lowercase shows more personality in letters like a, g, and y, with single-storey forms and flowing curves. Numerals are plainspoken and readable, with rounded corners and consistent texture that holds together well in text.
Works well for branding and packaging that benefits from a warm, personable voice, as well as posters and headings where its soft, rounded shapes can carry character. It can also suit UI labels and general-purpose display-to-text use when a friendly tone is desired and readability needs to remain solid.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, suggesting approachability and ease rather than strict neutrality. Its gentle quirks and soft geometry make it feel conversational and lightly whimsical, suitable for content that wants warmth without looking childish.
Designed to blend everyday legibility with a casual, human touch, using rounded geometry and mild contrast to avoid a sterile feel. The letterforms aim for clarity first, then add small, consistent quirks to create a distinctive, approachable texture in continuous reading.
Spacing appears comfortable, with counters that remain open at text sizes and a steady baseline feel. The stroke modulation is noticeable but controlled, adding character while keeping the silhouette clean and uncluttered.
