A soft, rounded sans with gently modulated geometry and a noticeably hand-drawn, humanist feel. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with curved terminals and slightly elastic curves that give letters a buoyant rhythm. Forms are open and spacious, with circular counters and smooth joins; several characters show subtle, intentional irregularities in stroke angle and curve tension that create a lively texture in words. Numerals follow the same rounded, slightly skewed construction, with clear, simple shapes and generous interior space.
Well-suited for brand identities, packaging, posters, and other display-forward work where a friendly, informal tone is desired. It can also work for editorial standheads, pull quotes, and short paragraphs when you want a softer, more human voice than a conventional neutral sans.
The overall tone is warm and relaxed, leaning toward playful and personable rather than strict or technical. Its springy letterforms and soft corners suggest an upbeat, conversational voice that feels approachable in both headlines and short reading contexts.
The design appears intended to offer a contemporary sans alternative with a handcrafted, approachable personality—combining familiar sans proportions with rounded terminals and subtle idiosyncrasies to create warmth and motion in running text.
The texture in text comes from small variations in slant and curvature across glyphs, which reads as intentionally casual rather than mechanically uniform. Round letters (like O/C/G) feel particularly open, and the overall spacing and counters help the face stay readable even with its quirky, informal construction.
