A soft, rounded sans with monoline strokes and gently irregular geometry that suggests a hand-drawn construction. Curves are smooth and slightly squashed, terminals are blunt and rounded, and joins stay simple without sharp corners. The rhythm is airy and relaxed, with open apertures and counters that keep letters clear in longer text. Proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, adding warmth while maintaining consistent stroke color across the set.
Well suited to cheerful branding, children’s or educational materials, packaging, and display text where a personable voice is desirable. It can also work for short paragraphs in digital or print layouts when a casual, friendly texture is preferred over strict neutrality.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a lighthearted, approachable feel. Its subtle wobble and rounded finishing reduce formality and add a human, conversational character.
Likely designed to provide an easygoing, rounded sans that feels handwritten without becoming cursive, balancing readability with an intentionally human, slightly imperfect finish.
Circular forms (like O, Q, 0, 8) read as slightly organic rather than perfectly geometric, and diagonal-heavy letters (K, V, W, X, Y) keep a soft, non-mechanical presence. Numerals follow the same rounded, handwritten logic, blending naturally with text settings.
