A monoline, rounded sans with softly curved terminals and an even, low‑drama stroke rhythm. Forms are generally narrow and vertical, with open apertures and generous interior space in letters like C, S, and e. Curves read as gently oval rather than perfectly geometric, and joins/ends feel slightly softened, giving the alphabet a lightly informal texture while keeping consistent proportions. Numerals follow the same simple, rounded construction with clear, uncomplicated silhouettes.
Works well for interface labels, short paragraphs, and product copy where a friendly tone is desirable. Its clean shapes and open counters also suit signage and posters at medium sizes, as well as playful or family-oriented branding and packaging.
The overall tone is warm and unpretentious, balancing clarity with a subtle hand-drawn friendliness. It feels conversational and lightly playful rather than corporate or severe, making text appear approachable and human.
The design appears intended to provide an easygoing, highly legible sans with softened geometry—clean enough for everyday text, but with enough warmth to avoid a rigid, technical feel.
Uppercase shapes are straightforward and legible with minimal stylization, while lowercase forms maintain a clean, single-storey simplicity where applicable. Spacing and sidebearings appear comfortable for continuous reading, and the set maintains a cohesive roundness across letters and numbers.
