A rounded sans with soft terminals and gently irregular, hand-drawn contours. Strokes are mostly even, with subtle wobble and slight tapering in places that gives a marker-like texture without heavy contrast. Counters are open and simplified, and curves are built from smooth, oval forms rather than rigid geometry. Spacing feels lively and a bit uneven, adding character while maintaining clear letter shapes in both caps and lowercase.
Well suited for packaging, café or boutique branding, posters, and social content where an approachable voice is desired. It can also work nicely for children’s materials, invitations, and short editorial callouts where a casual, handmade texture adds charm. For longer passages, it’s best used at comfortable sizes to preserve the airy counters and playful spacing.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a playful, everyday energy that feels human rather than corporate. Its slightly quirky rhythm and rounded shapes suggest a lighthearted, kid-friendly or craft-oriented voice, while staying readable and straightforward.
The design appears intended to provide a friendly, hand-drawn alternative to standard rounded sans fonts, balancing simplicity and readability with a deliberately imperfect, human stroke quality. It aims to communicate warmth and informality while keeping letterforms familiar and easy to recognize.
Capitals are tall and simple, and lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions (notably a and g), reinforcing an informal feel. The numerals share the same rounded, handwritten logic, with friendly shapes that prioritize clarity over strict alignment. In text, the font creates a buoyant texture that works best when its natural irregularity is part of the intended personality.
