A rounded, monoline sans with soft corners and slightly irregular, hand-drawn geometry. Many curves are built from faceted, almost diamond-like arcs (notably in O/Q and the bowls), giving the alphabet a gently angular rhythm despite the overall smooth finish. Strokes keep a consistent thickness, counters are open and clean, and terminals are rounded throughout. Proportions vary by glyph, with some characters widening or narrowing noticeably, creating a lively, informal texture in words and numerals.
Works best for display settings where its playful irregularity can be part of the voice—headlines, posters, packaging, kids or hobby branding, and friendly logos. It can also suit short UI labels or signage when a warm, informal tone is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a playful, slightly retro character that feels crafted rather than mechanical. Its rounded ends and bouncy construction read as friendly and kid-adjacent without becoming overly cutesy, while the subtly faceted curves add a quirky, distinctive personality.
Designed to deliver a friendly rounded sans feel with a handmade twist, prioritizing personality and visual charm over strict geometric uniformity. The faceted round forms and varied widths suggest an intention to stand out in display use while remaining clear and approachable.
Distinctive diamond/lozenge constructions appear in several round characters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9), and the diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are clean and bold with softened joins. The punctuation and dots are simple and round, reinforcing the casual, friendly texture in continuous text.
