A monoline sans with rounded, soft-cornered construction and gently irregular stroke behavior that hints at hand-drawn origins while staying clean and legible. Curves are broad and open, terminals are mostly rounded, and joins are smooth rather than sharply engineered. Proportions lean slightly narrow in some letters with generous internal space, giving the face a light, breathable texture in text. Numerals are simple and open, matching the same rounded, even-stroke logic as the letters.
Well suited to friendly branding, packaging, posters, and social graphics where a warm, casual voice is helpful. Its open shapes and rounded terminals also make it comfortable for short text blocks in invitations, educational materials, and other approachable editorial contexts.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a lighthearted, approachable feel. Subtle wobble and softened geometry make it read as human and warm rather than technical or corporate, lending a playful character without becoming messy.
The design appears intended to provide a clean sans framework with a human, hand-drawn softness—balancing simple geometric forms with mild irregularity for personality. It aims for easy readability while projecting an informal, welcoming tone.
Uppercase forms show a simplified, geometric rhythm (notably in round letters like C, O, Q) paired with slightly individualized details (such as the hooked J and the angled strokes in K and X). The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey feel where applicable and maintains consistent openness, supporting easy scanning in short paragraphs.
