A rounded, monoline sans with softly tapered stroke terminals and a lightly hand-drawn steadiness rather than rigid geometry. Curves are smooth and open, with broad circular bowls (notably in O/C/G and lower-case o/e) and simple, uncluttered construction throughout. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, compact descenders, and a generally even rhythm that stays legible while keeping an informal feel. Numerals are rounded and straightforward, matching the same soft terminal treatment and open counters.
Works well for approachable UI labels, product packaging, posters, and headline/short-text applications where a friendly tone is desirable. It can also suit educational or children-oriented materials thanks to its simple, rounded letterforms and clear counters.
The overall tone is warm and personable, reading as friendly and slightly playful without becoming novelty. Its soft curves and gentle terminal shaping suggest an easygoing, conversational voice suited to welcoming messages and light branding.
Likely designed to provide a clean sans foundation with softened geometry—prioritizing approachability, readability, and a contemporary casual character over strict, technical precision.
Capitals are clean and uncomplicated with consistent stroke weight, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) retain a smooth, rounded finish that avoids sharpness. The shapes favor openness and clarity over strict symmetry, giving text a relaxed, human touch at display and medium text sizes.
