A characterful sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals, drawn with an intentionally uneven, hand-cut rhythm. Letterforms lean subtly through irregular verticals and slightly wobbly curves, producing a lively baseline and inconsistent stem geometry while maintaining clear silhouettes. Counters are generally open and rounded, with compact joins and simplified construction that keeps shapes bold and legible at display sizes. Figures are straightforward and sturdy, matching the alphabet’s chunky, approachable proportions.
Best suited to short to medium display text where personality is a priority—posters, event titles, playful branding, packaging, and kid-oriented or crafty themes. It can also work for UI accents or labels when a warm, handmade tone is desired, though the irregularity may feel busy in long-form reading.
The overall tone is lighthearted and mischievous, like marker lettering refined into a consistent set. Its gentle irregularities read as human and spontaneous, giving text a friendly, informal voice rather than a polished corporate feel.
This design appears intended to capture the charm of imperfect hand lettering in a clean sans framework, balancing legibility with deliberate quirks. It aims to communicate approachability and fun through bouncy proportions and subtly inconsistent strokes.
Spacing appears roomy and forgiving, helping individual glyphs stand apart even with the font’s uneven stroke behavior. The set keeps a consistent visual weight across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with a noticeable emphasis on playful shape variation over strict geometric precision.
