A rounded, monoline sans with superellipse-driven bowls and softly squared curves, giving counters a rounded-rectangle feel. Strokes stay even and clean, with frequent pill-like terminals and lightly flared joins that add a gentle hand-touched rhythm without becoming calligraphic. The caps are simple and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more personality—single-storey forms, looped descenders, and slightly varied glyph widths that create a lively texture in text. Numerals follow the same rounded construction, with smooth, open shapes and compact proportions.
Well suited to branding and packaging where a friendly, modern-geometric voice is desired, and it can carry headlines and short editorial callouts with a distinctive texture. The rounded forms and open counters also make it a good fit for UI labels and interface messaging where a soft, welcoming tone is helpful.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor. Rounded corners and softened terminals keep it informal and friendly, while the controlled geometry preserves clarity. The mix of disciplined structure and small quirks reads as playful rather than whimsical.
The design appears intended to blend geometric simplicity with softened, superelliptical construction, creating a contemporary sans that feels approachable and slightly nostalgic. It prioritizes smooth curves, rounded terminals, and a lively lowercase to inject personality while keeping letterforms broadly clear and consistent.
In continuous text, the font shows a noticeable contrast between the calmer uppercase and the more characterful lowercase, producing a distinctive, slightly bouncy cadence. Curves dominate nearly every junction, and the design avoids sharp interior corners, which helps maintain an even, soft color on the page.
