A compact, upright sans with softly squared curves and rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Strokes are fairly even with subtle contrast, and most terminals finish bluntly with gentle rounding rather than sharp cuts. The letterforms show deliberate irregularities in curvature and join behavior, giving a hand-drawn rhythm while keeping consistent proportions and spacing. Counters are relatively small and rounded; several shapes lean on superelliptical bowls, with occasional teardrop-like details and playful notches that keep the texture lively in text.
Best suited for display settings where personality matters—logos, brand marks, packaging, posters, and short headlines. It can work for brief body copy at larger sizes, but its tight counters and quirky detailing are most effective when given enough size to breathe.
The overall tone is warm and slightly whimsical, blending a mid-century poster feel with a casual, handmade friendliness. It reads as approachable and characterful rather than clinical, making it feel nostalgic without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable sans framework with added charm through superelliptical bowls and subtly irregular, hand-touched details. It aims to stand out in branding and editorial display while retaining a coherent, consistent system across letters and figures.
Uppercase forms maintain a sturdy, condensed stance, while lowercase introduces more personality through asymmetric curves and distinctive descenders/ascenders. Numerals are bold and clear with rounded contours, matching the softened, compact texture of the alphabet.
