A rounded, monoline sans with softly modulated curves and consistently blunt, slightly softened terminals. Bowls and counters are open and airy, with a gentle, hand-drawn regularity rather than rigid geometric precision. Proportions lean humanist: capitals are simple and spacious, while lowercase forms stay compact and clear, with single-storey shapes (notably the a and g) and generous apertures that keep small details from clogging. Figures are simple and friendly, with smooth curves and straightforward construction.
Well suited to friendly interfaces, labels, and packaging where a warm, approachable tone is needed. It also works for posters, headlines, and short paragraphs in casual editorial or educational materials, especially when you want a clean sans with a human touch.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, with a light, approachable character that feels informal and modern. Its rounded joins and soft endings give it a relaxed, optimistic voice, suitable for messaging that aims to feel personable rather than corporate.
The design appears intended to combine the simplicity of a rounded sans with an informal, hand-drawn feel, prioritizing legibility and warmth. Its open forms and soft terminals suggest an emphasis on everyday readability and an inviting personality for broad, non-technical communication.
Stroke endings and curves maintain an even rhythm across letters, creating a cohesive texture in paragraph settings. The design favors clarity over sharpness, with minimal contrast and an intentionally softened, almost marker-like finish that reads as friendly at display and comfortable at text sizes.
