A compact sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and rounded terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear with minimal contrast, and the overall color reads even and sturdy. Many joins and corners look slightly softened and irregular, giving a subtly hand-rendered texture while keeping consistent proportions. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangular shapes, and curves often flatten gently before turning, reinforcing the squarish-round geometry.
Works well for casual branding, packaging, labels, and display typography where a friendly, contemporary sans is needed with a bit of personality. It can also serve in short text blocks or UI-like callouts when you want an approachable tone without sacrificing basic legibility.
The tone is warm and informal, balancing clarity with a lightly imperfect, human touch. Its rounded-rectangle construction feels modern and friendly, while the slight wobble and softened edges add an easygoing, DIY character rather than a strictly engineered one.
Likely designed to deliver a modern rounded-rectangle sans that feels accessible and slightly handmade, combining simple signage-like letterforms with softened geometry for warmth and charm.
Uppercase forms stay simple and blocky with open apertures and restrained detailing, while lowercase maintains straightforward, utilitarian shapes that keep rhythm steady in text. Numerals are plain and legible, matching the same rounded-corner logic and compact spacing feel.
