A compact, monoline sans with gently rounded construction and a subtly irregular, hand-drawn steadiness. Strokes keep a consistent thickness while curves feel slightly sprung, giving bowls and shoulders a soft, buoyant contour. The uppercase is tall and clean with simple geometry, while the lowercase shows more personality—single-storey forms, rounded terminals, and slightly varied widths that create an animated rhythm. Counters stay open and legible, and numerals follow the same straightforward, rounded logic with a friendly, informal feel.
Well-suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display copy where a friendly, handcrafted voice is desired. It works nicely for packaging, café/food or lifestyle branding, children’s or educational materials, and posters or social graphics that benefit from an informal, upbeat texture.
The overall tone is approachable and lightly whimsical, with just enough irregularity to feel human rather than mechanical. It reads as casual and upbeat, suggesting warmth and informality without becoming overly decorative.
The design intent appears to be a clean, readable sans that introduces a handmade, playful bounce through rounded forms and slight irregularity. It aims to balance clarity with personality, making everyday text feel warmer and more expressive.
Spacing appears even and the shapes hold together consistently across mixed-case text, helping longer lines remain readable. The design’s tall proportions and soft curves make it especially distinctive in headings while still functioning for short passages.
