A compact, rounded sans with soft corners and low stroke modulation. Stems are slightly uneven in a way that reads as intentional, giving the outlines a subtly hand-drawn feel while keeping overall forms clean and legible. Curves are generous and oval-based (notably in C/O/G), counters are open, and terminals tend to be blunt and rounded rather than sharply cut. Uppercase shapes are simple and steady, while the lowercase shows more personality in the descenders and joins, creating a lively rhythm in text.
Well suited to friendly headlines, packaging, and posters where a welcoming, slightly nostalgic voice is useful. Its compact width and clear forms also make it a practical option for UI labels, captions, and short text blocks that need space efficiency without becoming rigid.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, with a mild retro flavor and a casual, human touch. It feels approachable rather than corporate, balancing clarity with a bit of quirks-and-charm that keeps longer lines from looking sterile.
The design appears aimed at a personable, everyday sans that stays highly legible while introducing a gentle handmade character. It prioritizes simple, rounded construction and a compact footprint to work across both display and utilitarian contexts without losing warmth.
Figures are straightforward and readable, with rounded geometry that matches the letters; the “0” is an oval without an internal slash, and the set maintains consistent softness across curves and diagonals. The narrow proportions help fit more characters per line, while the slightly irregular stroke behavior adds texture at display sizes.
