A rounded, monoline sans with heavy, softly squared stroke endings and generous corner radii throughout. Forms lean geometric—built from circles and smooth arcs—while maintaining slightly irregular, hand-warmed proportions that keep counters open and legible. Uppercase characters are broad and steady with simple construction (e.g., a straightforward E/F and a circular O), while lowercase shows single-storey a and g and a tall, clean ascender rhythm. The numerals follow the same rounded logic with uniform stroke weight and compact curves.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short-to-medium blocks of copy where a friendly, rounded voice is desired—such as packaging, posters, app onboarding, and youth-oriented or casual lifestyle branding. The robust strokes and open counters also make it a practical choice for signage and social graphics where quick readability matters.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a toy-like softness that feels welcoming rather than technical. Its thick, rounded terminals and bouncy curves suggest a contemporary, friendly personality suited to upbeat communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, approachable sans that feels soft and tactile, emphasizing rounded geometry and confident weight for high-impact, friendly display typography.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, with sturdy shapes that hold up well in short bursts of text. Distinctive details include a single-storey ‘a’ with a curled shoulder, a simple looped ‘g’, and a ‘y’ with a broad, rounded descender, all reinforcing the playful, rounded theme.
