A narrow, monoline sans with softly rounded stroke endings and gently imperfect curves that evoke a hand-drawn marker feel. Proportions are compact and vertical, with tall ascenders and descenders and relatively small lowercase bodies, giving lines of text a light, airy texture. Curves are smooth and simplified, counters are generally open, and joins stay clean without sharp corners, producing a calm, readable rhythm despite the informal construction. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded logic, with simple, single-stroke-like shapes and minimal contrast.
Well-suited for branding systems that want a friendly voice, as well as packaging, labels, and casual poster headlines where a narrow, characterful sans can save space. It can also work for short UI headers or captions when a warm, handmade tone is desired, though it reads best in brief to moderate text lengths.
The overall tone is approachable and personable, with a quirky, handmade charm that feels more conversational than corporate. Its narrow footprint and soft endings keep it light and friendly, suggesting craft, kids’ materials, or casual signage rather than formal editorial typography.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a simple sans with the warmth of hand-drawn lettering. Its narrow, upright structure prioritizes compactness and readability while the rounded terminals and slightly irregular forms add an approachable, informal personality.
The spacing and stroke consistency create a tidy color at text sizes, while the hand-drawn irregularities add character and keep repeated forms from feeling mechanical. Round letters and bowls stay slightly squarish in places, reinforcing the informal, drawn-by-hand impression.
