A casual, hand-drawn roman with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms show subtle wobble and organic stroke edges, as if drawn with a marker or brush pen, producing a lightly textured, inked look rather than perfectly clean vectors. Proportions are friendly and open with generous counters; caps read sturdy and upright while lowercase maintains a simple, legible skeleton with occasional idiosyncratic curves. Numerals are clear and rounded, matching the informal rhythm of the alphabet.
Well suited to posters, packaging, labels, and social graphics where a handmade voice adds charm and approachability. It also works for book covers and children’s or family-oriented materials, and can hold up for short, large-size text blocks when a lightly distressed, analog feel is desired.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a slightly whimsical, imperfect finish that feels human and crafted. Its gentle irregularity suggests an analog process—hand lettering, casual signage, or printed ephemera—giving text a relaxed, playful personality without becoming chaotic.
The font appears designed to capture the spontaneity of hand lettering while keeping a readable, upright structure for everyday display typography. Its controlled irregularities and textured edges aim to add personality and warmth, evoking casual print and handcrafted branding.
Spacing and rhythm feel even enough for short paragraphs, while the textured edges and mild stroke wobble remain visible at display sizes. The design avoids sharp corners in favor of rounded joins, which helps maintain a friendly, soft impression across both uppercase and lowercase.
