A compact, heavy sans with an intentionally uneven, hand-drawn construction. Strokes stay largely monoline but wobble subtly, with rounded terminals and soft corners that keep the texture warm rather than mechanical. Uppercase forms are simple and sturdy, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncrasy—single-storey shapes, varied bowl sizes, and occasional angled joins—creating a lively rhythm. Counters are moderately tight and proportions fluctuate slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, marker-like feel at text sizes.
Best suited to display situations where a friendly, informal voice is desired: posters, playful branding, packaging callouts, event headers, and social or editorial graphics. It can work for short paragraphs when the goal is characterful texture, but it will read most clearly and confidently in headlines, captions, and punchy blocks of copy.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, with a comic, classroom-poster energy. Its irregularities read as deliberate and charming, suggesting spontaneity and approachability rather than precision or authority.
Designed to provide a bold, approachable sans with a hand-rendered personality, prioritizing charm and expressiveness over strict geometric consistency. The letterforms aim to feel human and lively while remaining simple enough to stay legible in common display contexts.
Numerals follow the same handmade logic, with rounded curves and slightly inconsistent widths that help them blend seamlessly into display copy. Spacing appears open enough for short lines, but the deliberately uneven letterform rhythm becomes a key part of the aesthetic in longer passages.
