A lively sans with gently flared terminals and subtle stroke modulation that gives the shapes a slightly calligraphic, signpainter feel. Curves are full and rounded, counters are open, and joins often show soft thick-to-thin transitions rather than purely geometric construction. Proportions lean broad with generous internal space, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable structure and the uppercase reads as confident and weighty. Numerals are similarly rounded and sturdy, with smooth curves and clear differentiation.
Best suited to display work where its rounded forms and subtle modulation can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems that want a friendly, contemporary-retro voice. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes where a dense, confident texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels warm and personable, with a hint of mid-century and hand-crafted character. Its soft curves and buoyant rhythm make it feel approachable and energetic rather than strictly neutral or technical.
Likely designed to deliver a modern sans foundation with a human, hand-touched finish, combining strong presence with softened edges and a distinctive rhythm for attention-grabbing typography.
Diagonal forms (like V, W, X) appear robust and slightly softened, and several letters show small, tapered endings that add motion without becoming decorative. The texture in paragraphs is dark and even, but the modulation and rounded geometry keep it from feeling rigid.
