A rounded, geometric sans with smooth curves and softened terminals throughout. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with minimal modulation and generous rounding at joins that keeps corners from feeling sharp. Counters are large and mostly circular, and apertures stay open, helping letters like C, S, and e read clearly. Proportions lean toward wide, simple shapes with a steady rhythm; lowercase forms are compact and tidy, while ascenders and capitals feel sturdy and slightly squat.
Well-suited for branding systems that want a friendly voice, as well as packaging, posters, and display typography where bold, rounded forms can carry personality. The clear counters and open shapes also make it a strong option for short UI labels, wayfinding, and other readability-driven headline contexts.
The overall tone is warm and accessible, with a cheerful, contemporary softness that avoids clinical rigidity. Its rounded construction gives it a playful friendliness while still reading as straightforward and modern.
The design appears aimed at delivering a simple, highly legible rounded sans that feels inviting and contemporary. It prioritizes consistent geometry and soft terminals to project approachability while maintaining the clarity needed for prominent, everyday typography.
Distinctive details include a single-storey a and g, a simple l and i with round dots, and numerals that match the same rounded, heavy geometry. The uppercase set is particularly uniform and “signage-like,” with consistent curvature and calm spacing that keeps lines of text even and stable.
