A rounded sans with softly swollen strokes and generously curved terminals throughout. Forms are open and simply constructed, with a slightly uneven, hand-drawn rhythm that shows in the varying stroke joins and subtly wobbly contours. Counters are broad and clear, and curves dominate over sharp angles, keeping the overall color dark and steady while remaining readable in text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text in friendly contexts such as children’s materials, casual packaging, café or craft branding, and attention-grabbing poster headlines. It can also work for UI accents, labels, and social graphics where a warm, approachable voice is more important than a formal, technical tone.
The overall tone is warm and easygoing, suggesting an informal, human touch rather than a strict geometric or corporate feel. Its bubbly rounding and relaxed proportions give it a cheerful, kid-friendly presence that feels conversational and welcoming.
The design appears intended to provide a rounded, personable sans that reads clearly while retaining a hand-made, playful character. It prioritizes soft terminals, open counters, and an easy rhythm to convey approachability and charm in everyday display and branding settings.
Uppercase shapes lean on simple, sign-like silhouettes, while the lowercase introduces more personality in letters like a, g, and y. Numerals match the same soft construction and maintain a consistent, friendly texture alongside the letters.
