A rounded sans with simple, open constructions and softly blunted terminals. Strokes are fairly even and the overall geometry leans toward circles and gentle curves, but with slight irregularities that read as inked or printed rather than mechanically perfect. Corners are subtly softened, curves are generous, and spacing feels straightforward and workmanlike, giving the text a steady rhythm without looking rigid.
It suits packaging, labels, menus, posters, and signage where a friendly, handmade-leaning sans can add personality without sacrificing clarity. It also works well for short editorial callouts or brand accents that benefit from a casual, slightly retro texture.
The font conveys an approachable, down-to-earth tone with a mild vintage print feel. Its slight roughness and softened shapes make it feel human and practical rather than sleek or corporate, lending warmth to headings and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar sans structure with a humanized finish—combining rounded, everyday letterforms with subtle texture to suggest ink, stamp, or analog print production.
Uppercase forms are broad and uncomplicated, while lowercase shapes stay clear and readable with open counters. Numerals match the same rounded, slightly imperfect finish, maintaining a consistent color in mixed text.
