A soft, rounded sans with subtly irregular geometry and a gently uneven baseline and cap-height feel. Strokes are mostly monolinear with rounded joins and terminals, and curves dominate over sharp corners, giving letters a slightly swollen, cut-paper look. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with some narrow and some wider forms, creating an intentionally uneven rhythm that reads as handcrafted rather than mechanical.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where personality matters—headlines, posters, packaging, and cheerful brand moments. It can work in UI or editorial callouts when used at comfortable sizes, but the uneven rhythm is most effective when treated as a feature rather than a neutrality requirement.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a quirky, approachable personality. Its slight wobble and friendly curvature suggest spontaneity and humor, making it feel more conversational than corporate.
The design appears intended to provide a friendly sans option with a handcrafted, slightly off-kilter feel, balancing legibility with character. It aims to add warmth and humor through rounded forms and controlled irregularity without relying on overt decorative elements.
Distinctive, simplified constructions (notably in angular letters like K, M, N, and W) lean toward playful caricature while remaining legible. Numerals follow the same rounded, lightly irregular logic, with open counters and soft curves that keep the texture consistent in mixed text settings.
