A soft, rounded sans with monoline strokes and generously curved terminals throughout. Forms are built from simple geometric arcs and ovals, producing smooth counters and a steady, even rhythm. Proportions lean compact with sturdy verticals; joins are clean and slightly blunted, and diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) keep a consistent thickness. The lowercase is simple and highly legible, while figures are open and rounded with a clear, contemporary silhouette.
Well suited for brand identities that want to feel friendly and contemporary, as well as packaging, signage, and poster headlines where rounded shapes can carry personality. It also works for UI labels and short paragraphs when a softer, more informal sans is desired.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful simplicity that feels modern rather than retro. Rounded ends and smooth curves give it a gentle, informal voice that reads friendly in headlines and comfortable in short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, geometric sans with softened corners—prioritizing clarity and consistency while adding approachability through rounded terminals and simplified, open forms.
Capitals appear sturdy and straightforward, while the lowercase introduces a more personable feel through single-storey shapes and rounded bowls. The dot on i/j is circular and prominent, reinforcing the soft, bubbly texture at text sizes.
