A soft, rounded sans with sturdy, gently irregular strokes that feel drawn rather than mechanically constructed. Curves are broadly circular with slightly flattened terminals, and corners are subtly eased, producing a chunky silhouette without sharp edges. Proportions are straightforward and readable, with open counters and simple, single-storey lowercase forms; overall spacing and rhythm stay even while retaining small, human-like shape variations that keep the texture lively.
Works well for branding and packaging that benefit from a friendly, human tone, as well as posters and headline settings where the rounded shapes can read clearly at size. It also suits children’s media, casual retail signage, and short-to-medium text where an approachable texture is desirable.
The font reads warm and informal, with a lightly playful, handmade character. Its rounded construction and mild irregularities suggest a friendly voice suited to relaxed messaging rather than strict corporate neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a clean sans foundation with softened geometry and subtle hand-made irregularity, creating an inviting, contemporary voice that stays legible while feeling personal and informal.
Uppercase forms are compact and bold in silhouette, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation (notably in a, g, and y) and remains legible in running text. Numerals are similarly rounded and sturdy, matching the letterforms and keeping a consistent, approachable tone.
