A monoline sans with gently rounded terminals and a hand-drawn, slightly uneven rhythm. Letterforms are compact and tall, with simple geometric skeletons that are softened by subtle curvature and occasional idiosyncratic joins. The stroke endings tend to be blunt or lightly rounded, counters are open and uncomplicated, and curves (notably in bowls and numerals) read smooth rather than mechanical. Overall spacing feels a bit loose and lively, reinforcing the informal construction without becoming distressed or textured.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters: headlines, posters, packaging, café menus, and brand accents. It can also work well for playful editorial callouts or children’s content, where its friendly, handmade tone helps set an inviting mood.
The font conveys a light, approachable personality—playful and a little eccentric, like neat marker lettering or a stylized handwritten sign. Its quirks add charm and motion, making text feel friendly and casual rather than corporate or strictly neutral.
The design appears intended to provide a clean sans foundation with a deliberately human, characterful finish—balancing straightforward construction with small, memorable quirks. It aims for legibility while signaling informality and warmth in display settings.
Distinctive glyph decisions—such as the simplified, slightly irregular diagonals and the rounded, open shapes in letters like S, G, and the numerals—give it a recognizable voice. The punctuation and dots appear clean and circular, supporting readability while keeping the informal tone consistent.
