A rounded, humanist sans with soft terminals and gently irregular geometry that keeps strokes feeling lively rather than purely mechanical. Curves are smooth and generous (notably in C, O, S, and the bowls of B/P/R), while straight strokes stay simple and even, producing a calm rhythm in text. Counters are open and clear, and many joins and ends appear subtly softened, giving the alphabet a mild hand-drawn flavor without becoming script-like. Numerals follow the same friendly logic, with straightforward shapes and rounded turns that match the letterforms.
Well-suited to interface copy, product branding, and packaging where a friendly, modern sans can soften the message. It also works for editorial subheads and short-to-medium passages, and for signage that benefits from open shapes and straightforward letterforms.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, with a mild quirk that feels informal but still tidy. It reads as contemporary and approachable, suitable for designs that want clarity without a sterile, corporate voice.
The design appears intended to balance everyday legibility with a personable, slightly playful character—using rounded construction and soft terminals to create a welcoming voice while keeping the structure simple and readable.
In running text, the type maintains an even texture while small idiosyncrasies (like slightly varied curvature and softened corners) add personality. The forms stay legible at paragraph sizes, and the rounded construction helps keep dense lines from feeling harsh.
