A compact, rounded sans with softly modulated curves and a gently irregular, hand-tuned rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even with minimal contrast, while terminals are mostly rounded or slightly tapered, giving forms a warm, smooth finish. Counters are open and clear, and the overall proportion feels condensed without becoming cramped. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, simple bowls, and a straight, minimal t, reinforcing an uncomplicated, modern construction with a subtle handmade wobble.
It works well for short to medium-length text where a casual, personable tone is desired—posters, headlines, packaging, and brand touchpoints. The condensed footprint helps fit more characters in tight spaces, making it useful for labels, menus, and signage where warmth and clarity matter.
The font reads as friendly and easygoing, with a playful energy that feels more personal than strictly utilitarian. Its slightly quirky proportions and softened corners create an approachable tone suited to lighthearted messaging rather than formal, corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern sans foundation with a softer, more human personality. By keeping construction simple and rounding forms while allowing slight irregularity, it aims to feel approachable and distinctive without sacrificing basic readability.
Round letters like O/C/G keep a consistent oval geometry, while verticals and shoulders retain a mild organic unevenness that adds character in text. Numerals follow the same soft, rounded logic, with clear shapes and a straightforward, readable feel.
