A rounded sans with softly tapered strokes and gently irregular geometry that keeps the texture lively. Curves are broad and open, with circular bowls and wide, friendly counters; straight strokes often show slight flare or wedge-like terminals rather than crisp cuts. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and open, while lowercase shapes are simple and highly legible, with single-story a and g and a compact, looping e. Figures are round and generous, with especially bulbous forms in 8 and 9 and a smooth, open 2/3 construction, creating an easy, flowing rhythm in text.
Well suited to brand identities, packaging, and poster headlines where an approachable, upbeat voice is desired. It also works nicely for short-to-medium text in UI, labels, and social graphics when a friendly tone matters more than strict neutrality, and it can fit children’s or lifestyle-oriented applications due to its rounded, informal shapes.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a hand-touched, slightly whimsical personality that reads as welcoming rather than technical. Its soft terminals and buoyant curves give it a cheerful, conversational feel that suits lighthearted messaging and brand voices aiming for friendliness.
Likely intended as a friendly, contemporary sans that balances clean readability with a subtle hand-drawn charm. The softened terminals, open counters, and lively rhythm suggest a design goal of being approachable and distinctive without becoming decorative.
The design leans on open apertures and roomy bowls, helping maintain clarity even with its playful stroke modulation. The slight angularity in diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, and Y) adds energy and keeps the rounded forms from feeling overly bland.
