A rounded, monoline sans with softly curved terminals and a lightly hand-drawn feel. Strokes maintain an even thickness, with gentle bends and slightly irregular, humanist proportions that create a lively rhythm. Caps are relatively tall and open, while the lowercase appears smaller in relation, giving the text a light, airy color. Counters are generous and circular forms (O, o, 0, 8) stay smooth and clean, with single-storey forms used for letters like a and g.
Works well for short to medium-length text where personality is welcome: headlines, posters, captions, and packaging copy. Its soft, rounded shapes also suit children’s materials, casual lifestyle branding, and playful editorial callouts.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a cheerful, approachable presence. Subtle quirks in curves and joins keep it from feeling mechanical, lending it a warm, personable voice suited to lighthearted messaging.
Designed to deliver a clean sans foundation with added warmth through rounded terminals and subtly hand-made curves. The intent appears to be approachable readability with a distinctive, upbeat character for display and friendly branding contexts.
Letterforms show a mix of rounded geometry and slightly quirky construction—noticeable in the looping descenders (g, j, y) and the softly hooked shapes in numerals like 2 and 3. Spacing reads comfortable and the open apertures help maintain clarity despite the narrow footprint.
