A rounded sans with generously open counters and softly squared terminals, giving the forms a cushioned, streamlined feel. Strokes show gentle contrast, most noticeable where curves transition into straights, and joins are smooth rather than sharp. Proportions are broad with ample internal space; bowls on letters like B, P, and R read large and clean, while curved letters (C, G, S) keep an even, calm rhythm. The lowercase is simple and readable with single-storey a and g, a compact shoulder on r, and wide, rounded arches on m and n. Numerals are similarly round and open, with a wide, elliptical 0 and friendly, flowing curves in 2, 3, and 5.
Well suited to brand identities, packaging, posters, and signage where a friendly, contemporary-retro tone is desired. It can also work in interface or product display contexts when paired with generous spacing, and in short-to-medium editorial passages where a soft, open texture is beneficial.
The overall tone is approachable and slightly retro, with rounded geometry that feels welcoming rather than clinical. Its broad stance and soft terminals create a playful, optimistic voice suited to modern-friendly branding and casual editorial settings.
The letterforms appear designed to balance clarity with character: rounded geometry and open counters support legibility, while gentle contrast and distinctive lowercase shapes add warmth and recognizability. The broad proportions suggest an intent to create an expansive, confident presence in display and branding applications.
The design maintains consistent rounding across corners and curves, producing a cohesive texture in longer text. Wide sidebearings and open apertures help keep dense lines from feeling cramped, while distinctive shapes (notably the single-storey forms and rounded joins) give it a recognizable personality.
