A rounded sans with visibly hand-rendered contours and softly irregular stroke edges. The letterforms favor open, circular bowls and simple geometric construction, but with deliberate wobble in curves and slight variance in stroke thickness that creates a textured, inked feel. Terminals are blunt and gently softened rather than sharply cut, and spacing reads comfortably loose, supporting a broad, easy rhythm in words and lines. Numerals and capitals keep sturdy, straightforward silhouettes while retaining the same uneven outline character.
Works well for display typography where a friendly, handcrafted atmosphere is desirable—posters, product packaging, café or market branding, book covers, and editorial headlines. It can also support short blocks of text when a textured, informal voice is intended, especially at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is approachable and human, suggesting a handmade sign or printed craft material rather than a polished corporate voice. Its imperfect edges and steady heft give it a warm, casual personality that feels informal and slightly playful without becoming cartoonish.
Designed to combine the simplicity of a rounded sans with the authenticity of hand-drawn lettering, delivering an organic texture and relaxed rhythm while maintaining clear, familiar letter shapes.
In paragraph samples, the texture remains consistent across sizes, adding character while keeping word shapes recognizable. The mix of round forms and subtle asymmetries gives headings a lively presence, especially in short phrases and display settings.
