A rounded, high-contrast sans with soft, swollen vertical stems and noticeably thinner connecting strokes. Letterforms are generally monolinear in structure but show pronounced thick–thin modulation, especially where curves transition into verticals. Terminals are blunt and rounded, counters are open, and curves feel slightly elastic, producing an uneven, lively rhythm. Proportions skew a bit wide and roomy, with a prominent x-height and simplified shapes that favor clarity over strict geometry.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and brand-forward applications where personality is desirable—such as packaging, posters, café/retail identity, and playful editorial callouts. It can also work for large-size interface accents or signage where the open shapes and rounded terminals support quick recognition.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a slightly nostalgic, mid-century display feel. Its bouncy curves and soft endings read as informal and upbeat, giving text a conversational, hand-drawn-adjacent personality without becoming fully script-like.
The design appears intended to combine the cleanliness of a sans with expressive contrast and softened geometry, creating a distinctive, friendly display voice. It prioritizes charm and memorability, using thick–thin modulation and rounded endings to keep forms energetic and approachable.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and friendly, while lowercase shows more characterful details (notably the looping descenders and asymmetric joins) that add movement in longer text. Numerals share the same rounded construction and contrast, helping maintain a cohesive voice in headlines and short UI labels.
