A soft, rounded sans with an evident rightward slant and generously curved terminals throughout. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation, producing a smooth, cushioned silhouette. Counters are open and circular, and many joins are eased with rounded transitions, giving the letterforms a buoyant rhythm. Proportions lean slightly wide in rounded characters while narrow letters stay compact, creating a lively, non-uniform texture across words.
Well-suited to branding, packaging, and short-to-medium headlines where a friendly, informal voice is desired. It can also work in posters, social graphics, and children’s or lifestyle-oriented materials that benefit from soft geometry and an energetic slant.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, reading as casual and friendly rather than corporate or technical. Its rounded shapes and energetic slant suggest a conversational, human feel that can make messaging seem more welcoming and lighthearted.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans voice with rounded construction and a lively forward motion, prioritizing warmth and personality over strict neutrality. Its softened terminals and buoyant proportions aim to keep text looking smooth and inviting in display-oriented settings.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “a” and “g,” a looped “q” descender, and rounded, simplified numerals that match the soft letter shapes. The dot on “i/j” is circular and prominent, and the curved terminals help maintain a consistent, gentle texture even at larger display sizes.
