A compact, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are fairly even and end in blunt terminals, with gently irregular edges that suggest a hand-drawn or inked texture rather than a perfectly geometric finish. Counters tend toward rounded squares, apertures are open, and many forms show subtle asymmetry that keeps the rhythm lively. Uppercase proportions feel tall and condensed, while the lowercase stays sturdy and straightforward with simple, single-storey shapes where applicable and minimal detailing.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and short promotional copy where a casual, handcrafted feel is desired. It can also work effectively on packaging, labels, and branding applications that benefit from a friendly, slightly rustic voice, and for children’s or lighthearted editorial contexts where warmth and approachability matter.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a lightly imperfect texture that reads as handmade and approachable. Its quirky, soft-cornered geometry gives it a playful, personable voice without feeling overly decorative.
Likely drawn to combine simple sans legibility with a handmade, imperfect finish—capturing the clarity of rounded geometric construction while adding personality through subtle stroke wobble and textured contours.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same blunt, slightly wobbly stroke behavior as the lowercase, helping the set feel cohesive in mixed copy. In text, the narrow fit and upright stance create a tight, energetic cadence, and the textured edges become a defining character at display and subhead sizes.
