A rounded sans with monoline strokes and softly eased corners, giving letters a gently hand-drawn look while staying clean and highly legible. Curves are circular and open, counters are generous, and terminals tend to be rounded rather than sharply cut. Proportions feel straightforward and readable, with a simple, uncluttered construction across both cases and numerals; minor irregularities in stroke joins and curves add warmth without becoming messy.
Works well for user interfaces, short-to-medium reading copy, and friendly brand systems where clarity and warmth are both important. Its rounded forms and open counters also suit educational materials, children’s products, packaging, and casual advertising or social content where an approachable tone is desired.
The overall tone is friendly and easygoing, with a light, personable character that feels more human than strictly geometric. It reads as casual and welcoming, suited to upbeat messaging and everyday communication rather than formal or technical settings.
Likely designed to provide an easy-to-read sans with a gentle, humanized rhythm—combining simple geometric foundations with softened terminals to feel informal and friendly in everyday use.
The uppercase shows simple, rounded constructions (notably in C/G/O/Q), while the lowercase keeps a single-storey 'a' and an open, plain 'e', reinforcing the informal voice. Numerals match the same rounded, even-stroke treatment for a consistent texture in mixed text.
