A rounded sans with softly swelling strokes and gently tapered terminals that suggest a hand-drawn marker or brush influence. Curves are generous and slightly irregular, giving counters an organic, uneven rhythm while maintaining clear letter identities. Joins and corners are blunted rather than sharp, and several forms lean on simple, bulb-like construction (notably in rounded bowls and the single-storey lowercase shapes). Spacing and proportions feel lively and varied, producing a slightly bouncy texture in text without becoming chaotic.
Well-suited for branding and packaging that benefits from an approachable, handcrafted feel, as well as posters, signage, and headline-driven layouts where its rounded personality can be appreciated. It also fits children’s or family-oriented communications and casual editorial pull quotes; for long-form text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the lively outlines don’t crowd the reading rhythm.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a youthful, casual energy. Its softened geometry and subtle wobble read as personable and crafted rather than strictly mechanical, lending a lighthearted, conversational voice to headlines and short passages.
Likely designed to provide a friendly, informal sans voice with hand-made warmth while keeping shapes simple and readable. The softened terminals and gently uneven stroke behavior prioritize personality and approachability over strict geometric neutrality.
Round punctuation and dot forms reinforce the friendly feel, while distinctive numeral silhouettes keep figures legible at display sizes. The mix of smooth curves and small tapering details adds character that becomes more apparent as size increases.
