A compact, hand-drawn sans with tall, narrow proportions and softly rounded strokes. Letterforms show subtle wobble and uneven curvature that mimics marker or brush-pen drawing, while remaining consistently upright and readable. Terminals are blunted and slightly bulbous, counters are small and simplified, and curves (C, S, O) feel gently pinched rather than perfectly geometric. Spacing is tight and the rhythm is lively, with small, natural variations in widths that keep the texture organic.
Well-suited to short display settings where a friendly hand-made feel is desired, such as posters, product packaging, café menus, classroom materials, greeting cards, and social graphics. Its compact width helps fit longer words into tight spaces, making it useful for punchy headlines, labels, and callouts.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, slightly goofy charm. Its narrow, bouncy shapes give it an energetic voice that feels informal and conversational rather than corporate or refined.
Likely intended to provide an informal, hand-lettered print style that feels approachable and fun while staying legible in short lines of text. The design prioritizes personality through gentle irregularity and rounded, softened shapes, while keeping a consistent upright structure for readability.
Capitals are slim and monoline-like with softened corners, and the lowercase maintains a clear, straightforward construction (single-storey a, simple g) that supports quick recognition. Numerals follow the same narrow stance, with rounded corners and a hand-lettered irregularity that keeps them visually cohesive in text.
