A rounded sans with a gentle, hand-drawn feel and consistently even stroke weight. Curves dominate the construction, producing soft bowls and open counters, while terminals are mostly rounded or lightly tapered. Uppercase forms are simple and clean with a slightly informal rhythm; lowercase shapes are compact and bouncy, with single-storey a and g and a lightly looping descender on g. Spacing reads on the generous side, helping the letters stay clear at text sizes, and numerals follow the same rounded, humanist logic with smooth, continuous curves.
This font suits cheerful headings, short paragraphs, and display-to-text applications where a friendly tone is desired—such as children’s content, casual branding, packaging, posters, and social media graphics. Its open counters and rounded forms also make it a comfortable choice for UI labels or onboarding copy when a softer personality is needed.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a playful bounce that suggests friendliness rather than strict neutrality. Its rounded geometry and mild irregularities give it a conversational, approachable voice suitable for lighthearted messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering an approachable, modern sans voice with rounded, human warmth—keeping forms simple and readable while adding just enough quirky curvature to feel informal and inviting.
Distinctive details include a curvy, looped W/w, a hooky J/j, and a softly curved tail on Q, all of which reinforce the informal character without becoming decorative. The sample text shows steady texture across lines, with clear word shapes and an easy, uncluttered flow.
