A rounded sans with thick, even strokes and softly inflated curves throughout. Terminals are consistently rounded, corners are eased rather than sharp, and counters stay open enough to remain clear at display sizes. The construction feels slightly hand-drawn in its rhythm—strokes wobble subtly and widths vary from letter to letter—while still maintaining a cohesive, clean silhouette. Uppercase forms are simple and geometric-leaning; lowercase is compact and sturdy with single-storey a and g, and numerals follow the same soft, blobby shaping.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, packaging, labels, posters, and brand marks where a friendly voice is desired. It can work in brief UI or caption contexts when ample size and spacing are available, but its heavy, rounded shapes are most effective when allowed to breathe.
The overall tone is warm and informal, projecting a playful, kid-friendly personality without becoming chaotic. Its rounded shapes and softened joins give it an easygoing, welcoming feel suited to lighthearted messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver a soft, approachable sans aesthetic with a subtly hand-crafted feel. Its rounded terminals and simplified forms aim to maximize friendliness and visual comfort, prioritizing personality and charm over strict geometric rigidity.
The design favors friendliness over strict precision: proportions and curve tension differ slightly across glyphs, contributing to a lively, handmade texture. In longer text the strong weight and rounded forms create a dark, smooth typographic color with a gentle rhythm.
