A rounded, monoline sans with soft terminals and generously curved joins throughout. Forms are built from circular bowls and open apertures, with slightly irregular stroke behavior that gives the outlines a subtly hand-drawn feel while remaining clean and consistent. Counters are roomy, curves are broad, and many letters lean toward simplified, single-storey construction in the lowercase. Numerals and capitals follow the same smooth geometry, producing an even, gently bouncy rhythm in text.
Well-suited for friendly branding, packaging, and display work where an approachable voice is important. It can also work for short UI labels or social graphics when a softer, less formal tone is desired, and it performs nicely in larger sizes for headlines and posters.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a lighthearted, everyday character rather than a strict corporate feel. Its rounded shapes and mild quirks read as cheerful and human, making it feel inviting and easygoing.
Likely designed to provide a clean sans foundation with softened geometry and a hint of hand-made character, balancing legibility with an inviting, playful tone. The consistent rounded construction suggests an aim for versatility across casual display and straightforward text settings.
The design favors softness over sharpness: corners are rounded, diagonals are cushioned, and terminals often end in blunt, rounded caps. In running text the spacing feels open and breathable, and the letterforms maintain a consistent, friendly texture across mixed case and numerals.
