A soft-edged sans with humanist proportions and subtly calligraphic modulation. Strokes show gentle thick–thin movement and rounded, tapered terminals that create a hand-drawn feel while staying largely monoline in overall presence. Curves are broad and open (notably in C, O, and S), with slightly irregular joins and a lively baseline rhythm in the lowercase. The capitals are simple and readable, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curved descenders and loopier forms, giving the face an intentionally informal texture.
This font suits branding and packaging that benefit from a handmade, welcoming tone, as well as posters, signage, and short headlines where its lively rhythm can be appreciated. It can work for brief passages or pull quotes when a conversational, informal voice is desired, especially at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lightly retro, storybook-like character. Its mild quirks and soft terminals read as personable rather than technical, suggesting a casual, crafted voice suitable for expressive display without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to bridge clean sans readability with a more human, hand-influenced finish. It emphasizes softness, approachability, and character through rounded terminals and subtle stroke modulation while maintaining straightforward letter skeletons for clear recognition.
The numeral set follows the same softened, calligraphic logic, with rounded turns and modest stroke contrast that keeps figures friendly and non-mechanical. Spacing appears comfortable in text, and the shapes favor clarity through open apertures and generous inner space, even as some letters lean into playful, individualized construction.
