A clean, rounded sans with gently modulated strokes and soft, slightly tapered terminals. Curves dominate the construction, giving bowls and counters an open, breathable feel, while verticals remain steady and calm. Proportions lean tall with noticeable ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase reads compact in height relative to the capitals. Overall spacing appears even and comfortable, supporting a smooth text rhythm without looking rigidly geometric.
Works well for interface copy, product branding, and packaging where a friendly, modern voice is needed. The open shapes and steady rhythm also make it suitable for editorial subheads and short passages, and it can scale up cleanly for signage or display lines without losing its approachable character.
The tone is approachable and relaxed, with a mild hand-drawn warmth that keeps it from feeling clinical. Its rounded forms and soft finishing convey friendliness and clarity, suitable for contemporary, user-facing communication.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary sans that remains warm and personable, pairing straightforward letterforms with rounded geometry for easy reading and a gentle, inviting personality.
Figures and punctuation-like forms in the samples maintain the same rounded logic as the letters, helping mixed content feel cohesive. The design balances simplicity with a subtle humanist irregularity in curves, which adds character while staying legible.
