A compact sans with softly rounded geometry and gently flared, brush-like terminals. Strokes are smooth and mostly even, with subtle modulation that keeps curves lively without reading as calligraphic. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with rounded shoulders and bowls, while lowercase is simple and legible with open apertures and a single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’. The overall rhythm is slightly bouncy, with rounded joins and minimal sharp corners that give the design a softened, hand-shaped feel.
It works well for branding and display settings where a friendly, retro-leaning sans can add personality—packaging, posters, signage, and short editorial headlines. In longer text, it remains readable at moderate sizes, especially in UI-like or informational contexts that benefit from a soft, approachable tone.
The font conveys an approachable, slightly nostalgic tone—playful without becoming novelty. Its rounded shapes and softened endings create a warm, personable voice that feels informal and inviting, suitable for designs that want character without heavy stylization.
The design appears intended to blend geometric roundness with humanist softness, offering a compact sans that feels contemporary in structure but warmer in execution. Its softened terminals and rounded construction suggest a focus on approachability and charm while maintaining straightforward readability.
Numerals follow the same rounded, compact logic, with clear, simple silhouettes and consistent terminal treatment. The face maintains an even, clean texture in paragraphs while retaining small idiosyncrasies in curves and joins that prevent it from feeling mechanical.
