A rounded, monoline sans with soft corners and gently irregular, humanist construction. Curves are smooth and circular-leaning, while straight strokes keep a slightly hand-drawn steadiness rather than rigid geometry. Terminals are rounded and calm, joins are uncomplicated, and counters stay fairly open for clarity. Numerals follow the same friendly, simple drawing with rounded bends and modest modulation in form from glyph to glyph.
Works well for user interfaces, product labeling, and brand systems that need a friendly, modern sans voice. The rounded construction also suits posters and short-to-medium text in editorial or educational materials, especially where an inviting tone is preferred over strict neutrality.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a subtly playful rhythm that feels approachable and non-technical. Its softened shapes and mild unevenness give it a personable, everyday voice well suited to friendly communication.
Likely designed to provide a clean sans foundation with softened, rounded forms for a more personable feel. The aim appears to balance straightforward legibility with a casual, approachable character that remains versatile across everyday display and text settings.
Uppercase forms read cleanly and uncluttered, while lowercase shapes emphasize roundness (notably in a, e, g) and maintain an easy, conversational texture. Spacing appears comfortable, supporting readable word shapes in longer lines without looking overly mechanical.
