A rounded, monolinear sans with softly tapered terminals and gently swelling curves. The shapes favor oval bowls and slightly pinched joins, producing a hand-drawn steadiness without obvious brush texture. Counters are open and fairly generous for the width, while vertical strokes stay straight and even, giving the design a calm baseline rhythm. Capitals are tall and simple, and the lowercase keeps a straightforward construction with smooth, curved shoulders and modest ascenders and descenders.
This font is well suited to short-to-medium text settings where personality is desirable, such as headlines, brand marks, packaging callouts, posters, and editorial display. It can also work for friendly UI labels or signage when a softer, more personable tone is needed.
The overall tone feels warm and slightly eccentric, with a light retro charm. Its rounded forms and softened endings make the text read approachable and conversational rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable sans with a distinctive, rounded voice—clean enough to typeset smoothly, but stylized enough to feel memorable. It balances legibility with gentle quirks to create a lively, human presence in display use.
The figures and punctuation shown follow the same rounded logic, with curved strokes and softened corners that help maintain a consistent texture in running text. The font’s character comes more from subtle shaping and terminal treatment than from dramatic contrast or sharp geometry.
