A rounded sans with a heavy, even stroke and softened terminals throughout. Letterforms lean on circular and pill-shaped geometry, with generous curves and minimal contrast that keep counters open and readable. Corners are consistently blunted, joins are smooth, and several diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X) show subtly asymmetrical, hand-cut angles that add warmth. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase maintains a simple, compact structure with single-storey a and g and a straight, clean t-crossbar.
Well suited to branding and packaging that benefits from a friendly, approachable presence, as well as posters, headlines, and short blocks of display text. It also works effectively for signage and UI moments where a warm, rounded tone is desired and clarity at larger sizes is important.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a buoyant, kid-friendly softness that feels welcoming rather than strict. Its rounded construction and slightly quirky diagonals suggest a cheerful, conversational voice suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a soft, personable sans with strong visual weight and a distinctly rounded, approachable character. Its consistent curves and simplified structures prioritize warmth, legibility, and an upbeat display voice over strict geometric precision.
The font maintains a steady rhythm in text, with consistent stroke weight and comfortable internal spacing that prevents the heavy shapes from clogging. Numerals match the rounded language; figures like 2, 3, and 7 show a playful, slightly calligraphic sweep, and the 0 is a clean oval that harmonizes with the O.
