A soft, monoline sans with generous rounding throughout and consistently blunted terminals. Strokes are thick and even, with broad curves and squared-off counters that create a slightly “rectangular-round” geometry, especially in C, G, O, and D. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with simple, single-storey forms (a, g) and minimal modulation; joins and corners are softened rather than sharply angular. Spacing reads open and stable in text, while proportions vary naturally per glyph, giving a lively, contemporary rhythm without feeling condensed.
Works well for branding and packaging that benefit from a warm, approachable personality, as well as posters, headlines, and social graphics where its rounded mass reads quickly. It can also suit UI labels and app surfaces in friendly product ecosystems, especially where a soft, contemporary tone is desired.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a buoyant, approachable voice. Its rounded shapes and sturdy weight feel welcoming and slightly toy-like, leaning toward a contemporary tech-and-kids-product warmth rather than corporate severity.
Designed to deliver a modern sans voice with a deliberately softened, human feel. The emphasis appears to be on immediate legibility and charm through rounded terminals, simple construction, and a consistent monoline stroke that stays visually steady in both caps and lowercase.
Distinctive details include a simple, rounded i/j dot, a single-storey a and g, and numerals that follow the same rounded, uniform-stroke logic (notably the soft, open curves in 2 and 3 and the broad, stable 0). The design prioritizes clarity at display and short-text sizes, with counters kept open and forms kept uncomplicated.
