A compact, rounded sans with a hand-drawn irregularity and gently uneven stroke texture. Curves are soft and slightly wobbly, with subtly tapered joins and terminals that feel cut by hand rather than mechanically uniform. Proportions run on the condensed side, with tall ascenders and a modest x-height, and spacing that reads a touch loose and lively. Uppercase forms are simple and open, while lowercase shapes keep single-storey, simplified constructions that reinforce the casual, sketchy rhythm.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where personality is desired: children’s materials, casual branding, packaging, posters, and social or editorial pull quotes. It can also suit light wayfinding or labels when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is approachable and lighthearted, with a playful, craft-like energy. Its slight inconsistencies add warmth and personality, suggesting spontaneity rather than strict precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a cheerful, handmade sans voice that feels human and accessible, trading strict geometric consistency for charm and motion in the letterforms.
Round counters stay fairly open, helping legibility despite the narrow build. The numerals follow the same informal logic, with friendly curves and small quirks that keep the set cohesive in display use.
