A rounded, monoline sans with soft, slightly irregular curves and gently tapered terminals that keep the strokes feeling hand-drawn without losing clarity. The proportions are relaxed and open, with generous counters in letters like C, O, and e, and simple, geometric skeletons throughout. Uppercase forms stay straightforward and legible, while the lowercase introduces more personality—seen in the single-storey a and g, the looped descender on j, and the easy, rounded joins in m and n. Numerals follow the same light, open construction, with smooth, continuous curves and minimal angularity.
Well suited to branding and packaging that benefit from a friendly, contemporary voice, as well as posters, social graphics, and short headlines where its rounded rhythm can be appreciated. In text settings it works best at comfortable reading sizes for informal editorial, educational materials, and lifestyle content where a gentle, personable tone is desired.
The overall tone is warm and informal, combining a clean sans structure with a lightly whimsical, human touch. It reads as friendly and conversational, suggesting everyday communication, youth-oriented contexts, and a relaxed modern sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean sans-serif foundation with added warmth and approachability, using rounded construction and mild hand-drawn character to avoid a sterile, purely geometric feel.
Spacing appears comfortable and even in running text, supporting smooth word shapes at larger sizes. The design’s softness comes more from rounded geometry and subtly imperfect stroke behavior than from decorative features, keeping the look simple while still distinctive.
