A rounded sans with smooth, monoline strokes and softly blunted terminals. Curves are generous and slightly irregular in a way that reads as hand-drawn, while keeping consistent stroke thickness. Proportions lean compact with relatively short lowercase bodies, and the overall rhythm feels bouncy, with varied letter widths and relaxed spacing. Forms stay open and simple—counters are roomy, joints are rounded, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) are clean and uncluttered.
Well suited to children’s materials, playful branding, packaging, and short headline or display settings where warmth and approachability matter. It also works for social graphics and signage that benefits from clear, rounded forms, while longer text may read best at comfortable sizes due to the compact lowercase proportions.
The tone is friendly and informal, with a cheerful, personable character. Subtle irregularities and rounded corners give it a warm, human feel that avoids stiffness and feels inviting rather than corporate.
Likely designed to deliver a clean sans structure with a hand-made friendliness, prioritizing approachability and visual charm over strict geometric rigidity. The consistent stroke and rounded terminals aim for clarity while maintaining an easygoing, playful texture.
Uppercase shapes are straightforward and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase introduces more personality through softer joins and slightly uneven silhouettes. Numerals follow the same rounded, monoline logic, reading clearly with smooth, continuous curves.
