A casual, hand-drawn sans with rounded terminals and an intentionally uneven, inked texture. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thicker verticals and heavier downstrokes paired with thinner connecting curves, creating a lively rhythm. Letterforms are upright but loose in construction, with slightly wobbly contours and variable glyph widths that give the set an organic, non-mechanical feel. Counters are generally open and simple, and the overall proportions skew compact in the lowercase, supporting a choppy, handwritten cadence in text.
Best suited to display use where personality is the priority: posters, product labels, café or boutique branding, children’s materials, and short headlines or pull quotes. It can also work for brief UI or social graphics when you want a friendly, informal tone, but the textured contrast and irregularity may feel busy in long-form body text.
The font reads warm and approachable, with a whimsical, storybook sensibility. Its irregularities feel deliberate and human, projecting an informal, crafty tone rather than a polished corporate voice.
Likely designed to mimic marker or brush lettering in a clean sans framework—capturing the charm of hand lettering while staying straightforward enough for general headline and branding applications.
Spacing appears generous and forgiving, helping the uneven stroke and outline behavior remain legible in short lines. Numerals and capitals share the same handmade logic, with simplified shapes and occasional asymmetry that reinforces the drawn character.
