A softly rounded monoline sans with gently irregular, hand-drawn geometry. Strokes maintain an even weight, while curves show slight organic variation that keeps the rhythm lively rather than mechanical. Counters are open and generously rounded (notably in C, O, e), and terminals are smooth with minimal sharp corners. Proportions lean slightly narrow with compact shoulders and simple, single-storey forms where applicable, giving the alphabet a clean, uncluttered silhouette.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly voice is desired, such as children’s materials, casual packaging, café menus, posters, and social media graphics. It also works for branding elements that benefit from an informal, handcrafted tone, particularly at display sizes where the rounded terminals and organic rhythm remain clear.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, personal feel reminiscent of neat marker lettering. Its softness and mild irregularity make it feel conversational and low-pressure rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a simple sans with the warmth of hand lettering. By keeping stroke weight even and details minimal while softening corners and introducing subtle irregularity, it aims for approachable legibility with a playful personality.
Uppercase shapes are straightforward and legible, with rounded joins that avoid harsh angles; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) appear slightly relaxed in stance. Lowercase forms keep a simple construction with round dots and smooth bowls, supporting a friendly texture in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same soft, open construction, matching the letterforms without looking overly stylized.
