A rounded sans with smooth, continuous strokes and a gently irregular, hand-drawn feel. Curves are generous and simplified, with open counters and soft, rounded terminals throughout. Proportions run on the compact side with relatively small lowercase height against tall ascenders, and spacing feels airy, helping keep the light strokes readable. The overall rhythm is calm and even, with subtle organic wobble that avoids looking rigidly geometric.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly personality is desired: children’s materials, casual branding, packaging, invitations, social graphics, and display lines in posters. It can also work for captions or UI microcopy when a softer, more personal tone is appropriate and sizes are kept comfortable for the light stroke.
The tone is warm and personable, leaning informal and lightly whimsical rather than corporate or technical. Its soft forms and relaxed construction give text a conversational, welcoming voice that feels human and unpretentious.
The design appears intended to provide a clean sans foundation with an approachable, hand-drawn twist—prioritizing warmth and charm over strict neutrality. Its rounded geometry and gentle irregularities suggest a typeface meant to feel informal and human while staying legible in everyday design contexts.
Distinctive details include curved, hook-like descenders on letters such as j and y, and a single-storey a and g that reinforce the casual, handwritten character. Numerals follow the same rounded, simplified construction, keeping a consistent texture across mixed text.
