A rounded, monoline sans with softly tapered joins and consistently rounded terminals. Curves are generous and open—especially in C, G, S, and the bowls of B and P—giving the design an airy rhythm. Proportions lean slightly narrow in many lowercase letters, with a notably small x-height relative to tall ascenders, while counters remain clear and uncluttered. The uppercase set is simple and geometric-leaning, with smooth arcs in O/Q and a straightforward, modern construction across diagonals (V/W/X/Y). Numerals follow the same soft, drawn-line logic, with rounded curves and friendly, legible silhouettes.
Best suited for short-to-medium text settings where a friendly, rounded voice is desired: brand identities, packaging, posters, and display copy. It also works well for educational or kids-oriented materials and UI labels where softness and clarity are priorities. For extended reading, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes due to the relatively small x-height.
The font reads as warm and informal, like a neat hand-drawn marker style translated into a clean sans. Its rounded endings and open shapes make it feel approachable and upbeat rather than technical or corporate. Overall tone is lighthearted and contemporary, suited to messaging that benefits from softness and friendliness.
The design appears intended to combine the simplicity of a rounded sans with a lightly hand-made sensibility—keeping forms clean and readable while softening the overall texture through rounded terminals and open counters.
Stroke endings appear consistently rounded, and interior spacing stays comfortable in text, avoiding tight pinches. Some letters show a subtly human, slightly irregular feel in curvature and stroke flow, which adds personality without becoming messy.
