A rounded sans with gently uneven, hand-cut contours and softly squared terminals. Curves are generously open and circular, while verticals and horizontals keep a steady stroke presence with subtle wobble that gives the outlines a human rhythm. Counters are spacious and clean, and the lowercase shows compact, simple constructions with a single-storey a and g. Capitals are broad and clear, with a slightly irregular edge treatment that keeps the texture lively without becoming decorative.
Works well for brand marks, packaging, posters, and social graphics where a friendly, human texture is desirable. It can also serve for short editorial decks or UI microcopy when you want a softer, more personable tone than a strictly geometric sans.
The overall tone is warm and informal, combining clean geometric foundations with a slightly mischievous, handcrafted edge. It reads as friendly and contemporary, suggesting an easygoing voice suited to lighthearted or personable messaging.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a rounded sans with a subtly handmade outline, creating a distinct voice that feels modern yet approachable. It emphasizes readability and warmth while adding small irregularities to avoid a sterile, mechanical look.
The numerals and punctuation match the same rounded, slightly imperfect finishing, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive. The design maintains legibility at text sizes while retaining enough idiosyncrasy to stand out in headlines.
