A rounded, monoline sans with softly tapered, brush-like terminals and gently irregular joins. Curves are generously rounded and bowls stay open, while vertical strokes remain mostly straight but slightly organic rather than rigidly geometric. The uppercase is clean and simple with wide, circular forms (notably in O/Q) and a straightforward, open G; the lowercase follows a casual handwritten rhythm with single‑storey a and g, a loopless l, and compact shoulders on m/n. Numerals are rounded and sturdy, with simple, legible silhouettes and minimal detailing.
Well suited to branding and packaging that needs a friendly, personable tone, as well as posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where warmth is an advantage. It also fits children’s or education-adjacent materials and casual social/digital graphics where an approachable sans is preferred over a strict geometric.
The overall tone is warm and informal, suggesting a friendly, conversational voice rather than a corporate or technical one. Subtle stroke quirks and soft endings add a handcrafted, approachable feel that reads as lighthearted and contemporary.
Likely designed to deliver a clean sans-serif structure while adding a human, handwritten softness through rounded forms and subtly expressive terminals. The aim appears to be easy readability paired with an informal, welcoming personality.
Spacing appears comfortable with even color in text, and the open counters help maintain clarity at paragraph sizes. Distinctive details include the gently swashed feel on diagonals (such as K, V, W, X) and a Q with a clear, readable tail that doesn’t overpower the round bowl.
