A compact, rounded sans with heavy, softened terminals and a slightly hand-drawn, humanist rhythm. Strokes are consistently thick with gentle modulation, and curves dominate the construction, producing open, bulb-like counters in letters such as O, P, and e. The proportions feel condensed with a tall x-height, short extenders, and a generally upright stance; joins and corners are subtly eased rather than sharply geometric. Numerals and capitals carry the same sturdy, rounded finishing, giving text a cohesive, slightly bouncy texture.
Well suited for display typography where a friendly, characterful sans is needed—brand marks, packaging, posters, and social graphics. It can also work for short pull quotes or UI headings where a warm tone is desirable, while longer text benefits from larger sizes and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a lightly quirky, retro charm. Its soft edges and compact build make it feel approachable and playful rather than strictly corporate or technical, lending a personable voice to headlines and short copy.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a rounded sans with a more human, slightly whimsical texture. Its condensed proportions and sturdy strokes suggest an emphasis on impact and charm in display settings, while keeping letterforms straightforward and legible.
Spacing appears moderately tight, creating a dense, rhythmic word shape that reads best when given some breathing room in larger sizes. The rounded terminals and compact width can make repeated verticals (for example in m/n/u) feel blocky at small sizes, while the open bowls keep it from turning muddy.
