A rounded sans with soft, swelling strokes and gently flared terminals that create a lively, hand-warmed texture while staying clean and non-calligraphic. Curves are prominent and slightly elastic, with bulb-like joins in places and tapered transitions that give letters a subtle teardrop feel. The lowercase is compact with relatively small counters and a short-looking midline, while capitals appear sturdier and more monoline in silhouette despite the evident modulation. Overall spacing feels open enough for display use, with a bouncy rhythm created by varied widths and rounded endings.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and poster typography where its soft, characterful shapes can be read at larger sizes. It can also work well for children’s or family-oriented communications and friendly branding systems, while longer text will benefit from generous sizing and spacing.
The tone reads friendly and playful, with a lightly retro, storybook character. Its rounded forms and soft terminals make it feel approachable and casual, while the pronounced shapes add personality that stands out in headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver a warm, approachable sans voice with extra personality through rounded geometry and flared terminals, prioritizing charm and distinctiveness for display settings rather than strict neutrality.
The numeral set continues the same rounded, flared logic, with curvy forms and slightly decorative shaping on figures like 2, 3, 5, and 9. Several letters show distinctive, characterful constructions (notably the single-storey lowercase a and g, and a curved-tailed Q), reinforcing a display-forward, expressive voice.
