A soft, rounded sans with low-contrast strokes and gently irregular geometry that gives the forms a slightly hand-cut, humanist feel. Curves are broad and open, terminals tend to be rounded, and counters are generous, supporting clear word shapes at text sizes. Proportions lean compact and sturdy, with a calm rhythm and small deviations in curvature and joins that keep the texture from feeling strictly mechanical.
Well suited to brand identities, packaging, and promotional graphics that benefit from a warm, personable sans. It can also work for short-form reading in interfaces, captions, and editorial sidebars where a friendly tone is desired, while larger sizes help showcase its rounded details and casual character.
The overall tone is approachable and lightly whimsical—more friendly than corporate—suggesting an informal, upbeat voice. Its subtle quirks add personality without turning into a novelty display face, making it feel contemporary and personable.
The design appears aimed at delivering an approachable sans-serif voice with a hint of handcrafted individuality, balancing everyday legibility with gentle stylistic quirks for modern, informal communication.
The uppercase set reads clean and even, while the lowercase introduces more character through rounded bowls and slightly playful joins. Numerals are similarly soft and legible, with simple, open constructions that match the letterforms’ relaxed rhythm.
